HELP adding 2nd reflector to tent

[ElfstoneStrider]

Hi guys. I'm trying to add my new 250W HPS/MH reflector to my 2 X 4 tent setup.

Here is the new light:

I already have a CL 125W reflector hanging inside the tent, as you can see in the pic below:

My plan is to keep the CFL 125W reflector in place, exactly where it is now, over the smaller plants on the table.

I want the 250W HPS/MH to be over the larger plants (3-Gallon pots) in the pic below:

Any creative ideas on how I can hang the 250W? As you can see the two support bars are already being used to hang the 125W CFL.

PLEASE HELP SO I CAN FLIP THESE CLONES, AND SO THEY DONT STRETCH FOR THE SKY IN SEARCH OF MORE LIGHT LOL.

See if that blue shit peels off it will make a nasty mess if it does peel off and you don't peel it off.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll go check it out.

I guess I needed to hear a firsthand testimonial like yours. Thanks, man. First HID system, a bit nervous about it collapsing over my winter stash crop!

I tried gently, it did not seem to have an edge that I could peel off. I don't want to screw it up, as I'm a bit heavy handed. Are you 100% sure I'm supposed to remove it? If so, how? Scrape it off?

Thanks, brother.

2 of the four plants in the 3-gallon pots are Mr Nice "Devil" (75% Afghani, 25% Skunk). After the flip these will double in height, tops.

The other 2 are Mr Nice "Shit" (Skunk #1 selection) - 1 of them is an Indica dom and should only stretch as much as the Devils. The other Shit leans Sativa and will probably finish the tallest of the 4, but I can use LST if it turns into a beast.

and if not you wont do any harm to the shade...

It Does look like a film that would be on the aluminum to protect the finish while rolled up, from there the people who manufacture you reflector would have stamped that texture into it, that stamping unfortunately really makes that film stick good and likely will not come of in one piece. You will want to remove it as it will impede the reflective quality of your reflector. If you even see a raggedy looking piece of thread like plasticy looking blue stuff usually means take it off, if you don't the heat from the light will remind you it is there with some plastic fumes.

yeah sativa dragon is right be safe dude

Guys, I got the blue film off the reflector. I scraped it a little until it tore, then the rest came off in 1 piece.

I now have both the 6500K CFL and the HPS set up... dual spectrum, Baby!

I am temporarily using the Yo Yo hangers, but this weekend I'm going to shop for something better.

I transplanted the 4 clones into the 3 Gallon pots & will flip tonight!

Thanks again, guys. IC Mag has not failed me yet.
