Hay all
Got a light prob

I have a dr 150 and heard its a pig of a tent for even light spread, I have yet to opend it up, I am reading up on lighting probs and was thinking of mod up 2 parabolic shades into 1 over all large 1... Useing 2 shades and fiber glass to make 1 larg 1 but don't know if the fiber glass could take the tempeture. also found reflective paint on ebay unsure if it any good though

Any 1 got any experience or tips thay could share for lighting a dr150
With 2 lights .
Don't want to wake up to find I gassed all my baby's..lol
Thx for reading..
 
Many peeps over estimate the effectiveness of reflectors,....yes they are good but not a the expense of the main light, stick with a single good light and work on the ventilation, the best reflective paint is still matt white
 
I use a dr90 tent -smaller but same secret Jardin quality; already got 3 grow cycles out of it so far..had bought a cheapo tent that leaked so much light it made the room look like a planetarium; Secret Jardin makes a good tent though. You are attempting to divide the tent in 2 correct? You do not mention this but imply you intend to use 2 lights; I assume you mean you are building 2 separate grow areas within one single large tent? I think the reflective paint will not work as you envision-regular flat white paint from your local store will reflect just as much light- or use Mylar. If you plan to use both areas inside this one tent at different light schedules you may have light leak issues unless you are very careful not to leave any at all which could be a real problem when you have it full of flowering or not flowering plants. Might be easier to just add a small veg tent or build a grow cabinet like I have to keep mamas & clones.
 
No worries midnitetoak..:)

Yea I am going to cram 9 ww lady's in there in 1 full room not splitting and just trying to figure out best way to spread my 2x600.
Just dying to try cram 2x parabolic
Shades in there or try some way to fabricate/modify 2 parabolic shades into 1 larger 1, with a nice gap between the 2 bulbs say maybe a foot apart for bulbs...
Dose any 1 know if fibre glass would take the temperature.. And yea White Matt could be a possibility too
