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,

light intensity for clones right after transplant ?basically should you treat them like a early veg ? using migro 4 array and it recommends 40 percent intensity at 35 cm away for early veg. or because they are just transplanted should I give them a lower light intensity.

Dialing in FC-E6500 Hey!👋😺. I have a question about distance for anyone using the FC-E6500 (no meter). All the lit. we've found says 12" the entire grow and simply adjust the dimmer throughout plant stages. This really doesn't sound right to me. We're now at 13"/50% (12"/75% was too much) TY!❤️🌱
