That’s great growth for a month! What you can expect from an HPS light. You honestly don’t need the side lighting, just my opinion

Whats your plan for flowering with that set up?

Yes lol. Very. Make sure. No blinking lights, no light coming through a window or a weird crack in a windowsill. Inspect it like it top to bottom in the dead of night.

If I was your buddy I'd find out when you were gonna do it, sneak in, and scare the shit out of you. Lol

So essentially although they reflect 99% of light they don't reflect 99% of the wave lengths of light.

Chew on that shit. Because that's confusing as fuck to me.

I'd just get mylar.

I heard they can cause hot spots also. I seen a movie once where it snatched this girls soul. I don't do mirrors.

They also can open portals to the paranormal

If ur on a budget and got some area to cover, consider flat white paint:

80-90% reflectivity.
Creates no hotspots.
Reflects little heat.
Easy to clean.
Cheap.
