Im on my first grow, i threw this cheap rig together earlier this week, cost me like 45$ without bulbs. It has 8X 42w(actual) Cfls (2X2700 6X 6300). I have two main questions
First, Before i made the rig i had just one light bulb hanging directly over each plant around 1-2 inches. But now that there is multiple lights per plant and a reflector(question 2) how close should i be bringing it to the plants. I know this is a really tricky question without seeing the actual rig, just would like some advice(because i could like get it within 2-3 inches of 2 bulbs and really far from 2 more, or center between the 4 by like 5-6 inches.) Sorry if that is hard to understand.
Second, as you can see i cheaply made a reflector out of tin, i was just wondering if u think it would beneficial to get a material(possibly mylar, or more tin) and block off the two open sides for more condenced light.
If you have any unmentioned useful information you want to throw at me would also be interestined
thanks,
Jael
