Up to ten bulbs now. All 23w. I have two on top in a v connector. Then just have the surrounding 8 bulbs surrounding it so I can get light to those bottom branches. Are you growing with cfls?
Just took a couple wire hangers and stretched them out to hang the lights. Still need to get some mylar but can't find it around here. Other than that just try and get as much coverage as you can.
Interesting concept to just surround it with light. Id figure a more even distribution of light. Looks great
I do have them distributed evenly on all four sides. All in v sockets except one. I got the most light coverage with this setup. Lights are kept just a few inches from plant.
I use these mylar blankets cheap and they reflect like crazy. Amazon.com: Emergency Mylar Blankets - 84" x 52" (4 Pack): Sports & Outdoors
Just ordered the emergency blankets. Can't beat 4 of them for 4 dollars shipped. Thanks for the link!
I just vegged for 5 1/2 maybe 6 weeks and flipped the lights to 12/12. From what I read the rule of thumb is veg till its about half as big as u want the final size.
Idk u my have an indica dominant plant. Mine shot up pretty fast and then bushed up more once I put it into flower
