Hi there!
I would like to know what is a reasonable maximum pot number (pot size 25cmX25cmX25cm) that can be used in grow box 1,4mX1,4mX2m, with 400w lamp & ADJW reflector?
Strain would be sensi seeds big bud...
Reflective walls are over rated.
I own a light meter and have tested all around the walls and such.
What I found is, the smaller the area (like a grow cabinet in a very small space) the reflective walls mattered more. But if you are talking about a whole room and such. I didn't find much of a difference. It doesn't make a difference for my 3.5 x 3.5 space. Look at any of the 10k watt grows and no ones using reflective. Even on the greenhouse seeds video.
He can grow under a 400w in his room. Reflective walls are over rated. It's so important that he finds a pheno that puts on rock hard nugs. I have one plant that's a freak.. the nugs are just crazy hard. You can grow that thing under a 60w light bulb and I'll bet you get nugs.
Hmm...Reflective walls in a small space are extremely useful. If you can make it so that say 8k lumens bounces off a reflective surface and only dissipates to say 7.5k lumens, wouldn't that be better than hitting a non-reflective surface and being drained down to 5.5-6k lumens? Also, it's not always the strain/pheno that dictates the outcome of a crop.
