Hey Guys
I got a 3 foot by 1.5 foot tent with a 400watt HPS light with a reflector similar to this http://www.heartlandhydrogardens.com/images/agrotech.jpg.
I was wondering do i want to mount it so the bulb is going long ways along the tent or so the bulb is facing towards the shorter direction, i would assume i want it to go long ways so it coveres more of the 3 feet but the top reflector looks like itd reflect more if its facing the other way as thats the way the hood arc things go.
I was using 2x400watts in this space with pretty decent results (about 8-10oz per grow) but after some research it looks like i was probably using too much light for the space and reaching diminishing returns as well as having to keep them further away than a single 400 this running into the inverse square law.
