    Mirrors for growing, definitive answer..

    Sigh... things aren't looking good for my little grow. It looks like I have to go the standard route of just going through veg first, taking clones and putting them in stasis. Has anyone tried this method...

    @panhead Nothing to be confused about here lol. You have read my earlier posts you know that I must stay _reasonably_ within power limits, I never said I strictly want to use one light. As a matter of fact I was going to use two bulbs because the new method you suggested will only use 12 hours...

    It is in fact possible to get a clone all the way even a month after flowering, they're called monster clones dude, if that's true then thats better then I had planned it. Lets so I do take a cutting at the end, you're saying it's going to take a while to reveg? That's perfect! I don't want to...

    Best way to oxygenate nutrients.

    Hey all, I'm starting my first grow in the next few months and I'm just charting out the course so I can start building. I'm looking for a small one pot hydroponic system with no substrate. I think deep water culture is the simplest method that I can easily. But I'm so scared of doing it wrong...

    damn, I wasn't aware of that. I thought I could take a branch off any time. This is really bad new as that means I can't even clone it once. There must be a way. You're saying I can't take a cutting as few days after it emerges because it's on bloom lighting, is it that strict? Is there any way...

    no I wasn't referring to you at all, I always appreciate constructive criticism and a realistic look at things. I did research this morning on the clones, the only one I could find that sells them is from Germany. Noo way it's getting past custums. Unfortunately I don't know any growers, I...

    what is up with everyone pushing morals on my for doing this in my <ahem, their> house? You're like the tenth person that mentions it. It's not that big of risk, I risk getting thrown out of my house, yes, but that's pretty much it. DEA won't come knocking for growing one plant. This is NYC, you...

    Well I do like spicy food... I'm looking at it now, if this does work I will have a never ending supply of weed. And I'm a light smoker so 3grams last me about 2 weeks. I'm assuming by a zip @panhead meant an ounce, which is an inssssane amount, and that's every 2 months or so. So having a...

    Just looked up 12/12 from seed, that's some amazing stuff. Thank you for that, I never even knew that's possible. I didn't really even think about the airflow either, the plant would restrict it considerably. I'm definitely using this method. Incidentally this also kind of takes care of the...

    @UncleBuck great constructive comment, really helpful. @panhead I'd love to, actually I'd love to start with a fullly vegged plant and go straight to 12/12. Maybe even from a flowered plant, I'll just take care of the drying. Anybody have any extra clones or live plants they're willing to spare...

    well if you really do do these tests at work I can take your word for it, that's kind of why I started this thread in the first place, all the references I read and just common experience as far as my eye can tell I don't see a difference and it appears at almost full reflectance, you're saying...

    Mirrors for growing, definitive answer..

    so we're back to the argument that mirror doesn't reflect 95% of the light? My point was that even if the meter will show a difference of a few lumens, it's negligible, at least for the plant, if it missed 5% of the light, you could say it's like having 2 to 4 duplicate bulbs in the same area...

    i was gone for an hour and the thread switched over to a fight over headlights and pink floyd, I guess everyone's bored of talking about mirrors xd First off I'm not sure where you're getting this 2/3 power thing, the cree documentation on the led says nothing about that. Anyways, I was trying...

    @LiquidJade hehe happens, anyhow a prism is made to bounce/rerfract light in that way, it's how the glass is layered and it has to be made in a special way to do that, it's usually done to disassemble a light ray into a spectrum. For instance when astronomers look at another star, they pass the...

    @DrWho maybe somewhat, but most likely very minutely. Huge weed growing greenhouses have them over the roof, our plants stand across the other side of the glass on our window sills, and we can get tan and damage our eyes with uv under uncoated glass. But again do plants really need it in the...

    This actually turned into a pretty constructive discussion a much welcome break to other more opinionated threads, great to have everyone's input and critiques on this. @BarnBuster I've looked over all the links you provided, the only one that stands out was the second one, he claims silver...

    Thanks for all the quick replies, didn't expect so many to be honest, great forum. The thing is it's going to be a small plant, maybe 12 inches tops, I will let it grow a bit and put on 12/12 in about 2-3 weeks. My goal is to extract as much crop as possible and for some reason I think that with...

    So I known this is a repeat of the dozens of other threads with the same title, and to be fair I have read a lot of them before posting this. The problem I have with the answers is most of them give out wrong information. While I don't really have any experience growing, I did re-read my...
