more accruately for reflecting the lights. Im growiing in my closet, near a corner. I have about a 3'x3' surface area for 1 plant with a little reach in case the plant expands even further and breaches the set perimeter i intend to allow for it. there will be 3 wall surfaces around the plant. ive been thinking that a little bit of foil properly placed on each wall might help increase light intensity as well as its ability to penetrate and expose more foliage to the light. i will have a method to circulate and ventilate the air so there are no woes over temp. just wondering what more experienced people might think of this technique. Maybe a mirror could also work? i know it would have to be situated at a distance to avoid overheating and drying out the plant. but would the effect be worth it? in the area which i plan to grow the plant, i think if added some reflective surfaces, the plant would practically be swimming in light. There would be the truly necessary ligt feeding it directly and as generally prescribed for the plant, and then oon top of that there would be a lot more ambient backlight coming from the reflective surfaces to just brighten it up a little more. i figure the more light, the better, regardless of the distance.
the closet is 6x3.5x9, basically a rectangle. since the plant will be focused on one side of the closet so that it is surrounded by the 3 walls, i can lay a little foil on those walls especially near the approximate level at the bottom of the plant (not the pot itself) so that the undersides (although i will LST/SC them) will get even better coverage (or i guess exposure). then i could add a mirror on the opposite end of the closet slanted either up or down so that the reflective light isn't completely directed and glaring at the plant. I also have a metallic shelf that is not opaque but has a lot of little thin crossbeams which allow you to see through it. What the hell, i could put a mirror there too! like i said, ventilation would not be hard at all. im goiing to have an exhaust already, but in case that isnt enough, i could just side open the closet door a little. its 2 sliding glass doors with glass on the outside of course.
