May I ask were your reading this stuff ?
I mean I can't remember the exact posts but I'm sure I'm not the only person to hear/read it.

No, it's another myth perpetrated by the organic cultists who don't realize that organics ARE chemicals....or they wouldn't be of any benefit.
Yeah that's the one. Forum owned by same person as the local dutch forum (Sannie) where it has been tested some more by a moderator who build a small test setup to measure different materials (excluding direct light from source to meter). It's not that much better than foil, and obviously costs more than foil, but easy to clean and lasts much longer. And with some proper planning it doesn't need to go from top to bottom.

It sounds better in Dutch because it rhymes: "light is weight". So don't waste any of it.
People may get the wrong idea from my avatar but its not a "hood" way of idolizing money but rather my actual admiration of the man ben franklin was. He was a jack of all trades, a rebel, and a man that would seek higher education. At first I just wanted to grow my own shit, then UB perked my interest in regards to botany. Right now I'm at the point that I honestly want to learn botany and horticulture. I never realized how deep it went and how much of a gratifying challenge mastery of such a subject could be. A plant just a couple months ago was just a plant to me. Now I couldn't explain to you the excitement I get looking at these species. Not only marijuana, but all plants. Today I was in my in law's garden and it blew my mind what some of the plants everyday vegetables looked like. Veggies we take for granted as simple as cucumbers and beans.
I apologize for the rant. I've had a couple so what I feel will spill out. I'm the type to get fully engulfed in whatever peaks my interest and I'd have never thought growing plants would be the next thing to entrance me.
I wasn't sure where to post this I just wanted to vent but then I realized that why not pay tribute to the guy that lead me this way in a tribute already dedicated to him...
UB its obvious to anyone that's willing to open their eyes that you're the real deal when it comes to growing in general. I hope to keep learning from you and the others that seem to keep their practices and theories rooted in real world solid and proven agricultural science. (Mini shout out to kite high, foothills, heartland hank, homebrewer and any others not mentioned that fit the bill)
Cheers to you Tio
Why are you always such a crybaby whenever someone disputes what you say in your posts. The reason I chopped you're quote is because the rest didnt matter. You posted a 4 foot tall plant, his is easily 6-7 ft tall. If the light is a foot above the plant, the light source is going to be 7-8 feet from the lower leaves. What I was saying is that a 600 watt hid lamp does not have the intensity to maintain that lush amount of foliage at that distance. Reflected light is also increasing the distance even further lowering the intensity more as wellSit, my patience is wearing real thin with you and I'm about let you go. I'll try to get thru, once more, and then that's it, I'm done. I have shown you plants that were crammed together such that the "point source" did not reach the lower levels that you seem to be so hung up on.
The way I configure my garden is not a "point source". I use highly reflective side panels that are adjustable such that they are always kept close to the foliage, and that may include panels in the corners that reflect light back into the canopy, tilted upwards. I also paint my floor covering white. Red mulches down tomato rows has been field tested to yield 30% or more.
Look.....research the use of reflecting panels which can increase light, what the plant sees, by 30% or more.
And stop parsing my posts. I said, which you parsed - "600W would probably do it if you configured it right - quality reflecting panels, PLUS, you've got to get everything else right which he obviously has."
You're beginning to remind me of "journalist" shitheads like Diane Sawyer or Chris Matthews.

One of my dalat vietnamese got the entire HID once I harvested its sisters. The light is blinding thanks to the panels. This is a view from the top shooting down into the garden. Dog chains hold up the heavy colas which are still bent over.

You really think your plant looks anything like the one above it? No comparison. None.
Oh, and what happened to all the leaves in your pic?

Nice job! 4# weeks of veg - yowzer!
You didn't answer the last question, This leads me to believe that you Don't know the answer and you shouldn't be giving advise on growing when you don't know SHIT!!!!!!!
what question wasnt answered
