Opinions please rollitupers!
I'm New, Searched and searched for answers, i dont own a meter, phone apps that measure light are vague but lean sunlight ( i assume due to sunlights intensity at distance/indoor lighting weakens greatly )
Is the intensity of sunlight thru typical window glass greater than reflected indoor lighting by mylar?
variables...
Indirect vs direct (direct for a short time morning or evening)
direct is assumed to be thru a window screen
gas composition between panes (argon?)
very light glass tinting (blue ish)
new windows <5 years old
mylar distance 2ft from light so doubled to 4 feet (for both travels of light)
90-95% reflectivity mylar
... inverse square law makes sunlight the ultimate winner unless you have a killer setup ---provided the glass does not filter more of the wavelength your plants want
Thanks to any who chime in
(even necros decades from now as i have found many necroed threads very valuable since things change)
