Sigh....... It's like im talking to 3 year olds..... You don't need to believe me. But what I state is FACT.
"Crop photosynthesis to a large extent correlates with the light profile within the canopy (González-Real et al., 2007; Niinemets, 2007; Sarlikioti et al., 2011a). In the vertical profile of the canopy, light intensity decreases exponentially from top to the bottom of the canopy, as described by the Beer-Lambert–Bouguer law (Chandrasekhar, 1950; Monsi and Saeki, 2005) of which light extinction coefficient can be used to quantify the vertical light distribution in the canopy. Diffuse light exhibits a lower extinction coefficient than direct light (Urban et al., 2012; Li et al., 2014a) although the effect depends on solar position (Morris, 1989). This indicates diffuse light penetrates deeper into the crop canopy."

And just to be CLEAR, more light sources literally means more diffuse lighting. Diffusion via a frosted glass panel simply spreads out the photons more. The same fucking way that adding more light sources would.
Wrong.
Let us know when you get a PAR meter and then we will let you sit at the adult table. In the meantime, ask yourself what a cob actually is and see if you can figure out how it is multiple light sources. Maybe you can ask your dad for some help.
