thats very cool how does it work. is it efficient?
First, a light bulb hanging vertically in a grow room is completely different from a flashlight shining on a cone. A cone is completely solid and a flashlight focuses light on one spot. A plant and light bulb do not replicate either of those objects. Your example also negates the fact that the middle/bottom of a plant sometimes receives no light with a horizontal. Not 100% coverage like you claim.Really, I don't see why this is so hard to comprehend - it is not rocket science. Get yourself a cone shaped cup or an ice cream cone and shine a flashlight straight down on top of it. You will notice the whole cone illuminated 360 deg around with only the area underneath shaded. Then shine the flashlight from the side and look at the opposite side. Notice that a full 50% is shaded.
I couldn't follow that.
Circumference has nothing to do with it. Did you mean diameter? To figure your area you use diameter or twice the radius X 3.14 X height. Or 3.14(diameter)(height)
A diameter of 4.1' gives you 5,000LUX at 2' high. At 7.7' diameter you would have 3,000LUX. That would give 48.3' square at 2' high. At 3' high this would give you 5' diameter.
At 5' you get a 15' circumference 3' high so you could grow about 7, 3' high plants. If you get 5oz per plant you will hit 1g/Watt.
Lol Rick... you are not going to make any of us beleive you've ever grown any kind of plant in your life.it looks like I forgot more about growing than you punks will ever know.
Stop acting like a child and get back to the issue.
Haha Rick youre so funny. Im sorry to tell you this is not pathetic or scrawny....Judging from the PATHETIC grows you guys are posting it looks like I forgot more about growing than you punks will ever know. I mean really, you arrange 5 or 6 scrawny plants in dirt buckets around a bulb and claim that you are getting massive yields. When you put together your first high yield setup get back to me - until then quit talking out of your ass.
Given you keep in mind it's still just a 400 and not enough for huge thick trees, yes. Flower so the top out at no more than 4' or better yet scrog an even cylinder of bud about 4' tall.wait so i got lost in all the babble.
. . .if i have a 400 hps hanging in the middle of 6 plants in 7 gallon pots with mylar on the outside walls, i should pull more weight than if i put the light horizontal w/hood?
Yeah, he was really "hot".UB: ahhh hell OG! back when BOG was the hottest guy on the block.
thats funny,i was looking at some of his B.M.R the other day,THATS CRAZYYeah, he was really "hot".
Wow, you can grow six whole plants at once! And you say it as though I am supposed to be impressed?Haha Rick youre so funny. Im sorry to tell you this is not pathetic or scrawny....
I can do 6 of these plants around a single HPS light any day of the week
Post one picture of something you have growing... Oh wait, you can't you dont grow anything hahaha
Leave this conversation to people who know what they are talking about.
You should take your own advise Rick.Stop acting like a child and get back to the issue.
I hear ya man, when rick posts its best to just scroll down to the next post. You will be dumber for reading anything by himwhen I read dudes talk about "Lux" I just page down, it means BS! Lol, those you cant talk, those who can do type of deal.
bigtomatoe, I do the same size plants, five gallons or seven and I was wondering if I could really squeeze more plants in a circle around a vert bulb, rather than six or so in a row under a horizontal. I am a year into growing, so in your experince did your vertical beat the shit out of horizintal with five gallon trees? Seems like it could to me and I am curious did you just let them grow regualr or did you top or train at all? A nice bit of chicken wire seems kinda easy now that i type this, usually I am pretty lazy!
Just saw your pics, they look like they just all went for it. Ever try it with six neatly around a bulb? That is what I meant.
