hey there guys. Quick question for the more experienced vert people.
Almost every time I've done a vert grow, I get nugs that grow great and towards the light, however the backside of the nug just looks slightly less mature (pistils etc).
Its not life and death, the potency is still good, It just looks like it grew with light only hitting one side of the cola for most of its life... which it did
I can pick out my vert grown nugs from horizontal in a mixed bag just by the look, granted I know what I'm looking for and am actively lookin for it
so. putting reflective material behind the plants is my first thought for a solution but in a proper V sog (I wanna get my tall boy module Coliseum up and running again) its gonna all fill in with plants anyways and reduce the effect of the mylar/reflectix
Last time I ran one 1000w HPS vert on a mover and probably stretched my light too thin with the circumference/travel (just had standing plants, no coliseum unit). This time I'm gonna have two 1000w's stacked on a mover which should throw excess amounts of light up/down and hit the backsides of the colas more. I'm hoping this coupled with adding something reflective helps.
any vert pros have any tips to alleviate the "one sided" look?
