first off i am NOT out to prove anything. this is simply a test you can take this info and do whatever you want with it. it seems when it comes to growing the only right way is MY way. not me personally but in general that is the attitude of the pot grower. i have yet to figure out why all the competition. since day one whenever i mention growing EVERYONE has the best way. people who have never grown a thing in their lives know evrything about pot. it is kinda funny. i have lived and learned, yet everyday i am DISCOVERING new things. not rights and wrongs just different ways.
to each his own.
so here's the set-up. a board, backlighting, and a meter. all materials are laid flat unless otherwise noted. i checked what i had laying around. i can do more later.

the meter was placed at 300 ft candles for the base number on the unpainted pine wood.
unpainted pine - 300
mirror - 375
white paper - 300
foil, flat, shiny
side - 425
foil, flat, dull
side - 425
when the foil
is curled - 500+ light was intensified into bright spots when curled
foil, wrinkled,
shiny side - 325
foil, wrinkled,
dull side - 325
mylar - 500
mylar when
curled - 500+ light was bent evenly due to the thickness of mylar
that's what i got so far. i can try to clarify any of these for now. so any questions?
