doublt the light outdoors?

[rollinKansas]

Im a first time grower and i have my plants outside already. their permanently in the ground and i used that black tarp stuff that lets water down but doesn't let weeds come up, to surround my plants. i was wandering if i could put aluminum foil or something of that nature along the ground and reflect some of the light to the bottom of the leaves, and give them extra light. any expierenced growers know the answer to that one?

i wouldn't. I dont really see the point. It wouldnt give it that much light. And aluminum foil reflects light in a screwy way cuz it gets kinda crumpled so it would direct sunlight on certain areas and this could burn your plant!!! yes it could fry. I'm not an expert but i'm pretty sure thats what would happen. If your plants are in a place where there is lots of light just fucking leave it alone and let it do it's thing. It will be fine. My plants are in the shade and get minimal direct sunlight but they are doing fine. They dont get the scorching hot direct sunlight but they get the shadier type and they are monsters.

Nah, not unless your plants are in the ground not any where near your house. That reflection alone would draw somebodys attention, I know it would draw mine if I saw it wich is a major problem when pedestrians find your outside grow. Not a good idea if you want to keep growing.
