Heres one to stump some...Zandor and Knowm...need help

I agree wholeheartedly. sometimes people get so caught up on some of the smallest nuances that it sometimes too funny. Unless someone is taking calculations of all of the variables present i.e room shape, properties of reflective material, various light positions, phenotype characteristics of the strain etc then some of these small minute differences are all a waste in the avg grow room.

People should just put emphesis on the basics i.e proper lighting, good room setup and good strains and all will be well. I mean really...has anyone ever done a controlled study to see the difference between white paint, mylar or any other refelctive material? I know we can calculate the theoretical increases in light output, but who's to say that other reflective characteristics are not changed from one medium to another?!

I just think people sometimes look at the wrong places when something is not what they expect instead of looking at the basics since the more intricate/small things tend to not have such a drastic impact as the basics.

has anyone actually done a controlled study...

Yes they have and they are published in several places as well as hydrofarms yearly catalog...

Heres one to stump some...Zandor and Knowm...need help Ok guys...i am doing a little research and no one in the regular chat rooms can help me so here it goes... If you look up mylar on the internet...it is just plain ol plastic film...and guess what...i work where i make plastic....but we do not make reflective plastic such as the mylar you are all used to using...so here is the question... If someone is able to use flat white paint as a reflector...(i know its not a great one) but it is still a reflector...and is kinda low on cash...would white Rating: 5

Can you please direct me as I cannot locate any. Are these published periodicals or just in house studies?
