Hey friend, Reflective surfaces allow you to capture otherwise lost light. You will not double it however, light follows the inverse square law meaning its efficacy drop exponentially over distance, or by being reflected. That being said, adding mirrors to all sides can be of great benefit, this is why growtents have reflective surfaces. Cheers,

Changing Lighting Schedule The days on the plants are since planting, so i was going to keep the vegetative light schedule until 5 weeks since planting, then start moving towards a 12/12. Is it even optimal for an autoflower to have a traditional 12/12 lighting schedule during flowering?

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx
