smoking and usage

Dorklover664 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-09-2006, 05:05 AM

How much will it help if I add a reflective bottom to my hydro system? I have a 400-w HPS light now. I’m thinking off adding mirror tiles to the bottom of my system to reflect light and help with the yellowing of the bottom leaves. Any ideas or thoughts?

Mirrors actually dont give off any light... try using mylar or some tinfoil.. i know its for the floor and all but.. try it.. wouldnt be bad..

p.s. nice set up pic

Cody3 is right. Mirrors actually absorb light. Very counterproductive to what you are trying to do.

The only problem I have with mylar and tinfoil is cleaning, well and the fact that I don't think I can reuse it.

What about white tile?

What you mean cleaning? Buy a roll of tin foil.. and everytime if gets messed up throw it in with the cans and recycle it lol

That just seams to wasteful for me to do. If I can find a way to make it permeate that would be better. But this dose give me an idea- I can cover 12"X12" tile in tin foil then put them into clear zip-lok baggies. I should just be able to rinse them off and after the first set there will be no waste. Thanks all for your in put.

It's a bitch to move. And when it gose into bloom I need it that high or it touches. I can move it by myself but it's really scatch and if I droped it that would be bad.
