due to the nature of the exponential light drop off I think by the time the light bounces off 2 surfaces and then back to your plants It will be greatly diminished in comparison to 1 bounce.
heres a pic of what I mean
If I hold the reflectors any farther then I cant see any light hitting bottom of the plants at all
I can quickly adjust and aim the reflected light also
harmonicminor Reviewed by harmonicminor on . theoretical super duper reflection chamber ok I have been thinking about this after noticing that when you hang mylar on a wall that is vertical that most of the light will actually bounce down onto the floor. I tried bouncing light at more of an angle and what do you know??? It captures the light that is going down and bounces it back to the plant better. now if the plants were arranged in a circle under the lamp you could use a center reflector that bounces light out in a circle to the plants and have walls on the outside of them Rating: 5
