I am using HID but will still drink the beers!!

Thanks for the info, I have quite a few cfl that I can use for side growth. This is excellent idea

Hey 'super2200', how do you find the cfl's for side growth?? I use HPS but was considering putting some cfl's on the sides if it works well. Do you remove them for flowering cos they are high in the blue spectrum and wouldn't help much would they?? Cheers

Thanks everyone for the comments!

What on earth does +rep mean?
It's a plus-one for a users reputation points. The green rectangles below a user's details show how many that person has.

You could try finding some flat white paint made for metal and just spray them. Flat white paint is considered better than mylar by some because no hotspots

i was just thinking if you had some of those bigger cfl's like the 150w ones, you could grab a monster or a tall boy to make a bigger reflector. just my two cents worth
