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,

Fluoro and LEDs togetherIn addition to the 24W T5 Fluoro, I will be adding an 80W LED Lamp 12" from the tops. This lamp has 3 spectrum settings: Red&Blue, Warm White, and all 3. Which setting is best for veg and how will it affect the plants by having both types of lighting? Thanks

Flip light schedule1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. ThoughtsWeek 4

Which strategy with auxiliary grow Leds ? 3x20w Leds -Thanks !Helps maturing but I wonder if buds are bigger. I used to put 3 extra lights 20 cm below canopy, leave many large leaves at the top and lollypop 30%. 30% is definitely not enough even with those 20w LEDS (50% is probably better). How do you use extra LEDS ? Where do you put them?
