I too will be interested to see how the different reflectors act on the crop. I'm using only 2 SuperSun2 reflectors with 1000's, but they're on LR5 mover. They are second to none at throwing down light on the plants, but they definitely have hot spots, which for the most part are cured by using a mover. As long as you have them far enough away from your plants, you should be fine. I think next time around, I might try a larger reflector to go for a more even spread of light though, just to see the difference. Probably go with the Radiant 6.
Good choice with the super sun 2 reflectors they have much more even light distribution which will be good for your scrog. I'd be willing to bet the side with the super sun 2's on it will end up with more weight and a more even canopy. It should be interesting to watch. When you get finished you should weigh the ones under your magnum xxl's and the ones under the super suns and see if there is any difference in weight.
Btw, I'm growing exactly the same way, but I've recently just started using the new mini slabs that are individually wrapped. That was the one drawback I didn't like about using rockwool slabs, was not being able to move the plants around once they got rooted. I thought about just cutting them up into pieces, but having had a struggle with fungus gnats before, I didn't want them to get even the slightest opportunity.

Ok im due for an update I had a couple issues that has set me back a couple of weeks The first being the light shock Next round I will dim the lights to 50 % for the first week and only turn half on... Second week Turn every thing on 100% No biggie its all part of me learning I am a rookie..
The second item has been trying to get the watering down...Basicly when to water I use to lift the pot and when it was light I would water Now I let the plants tell me... I think I have it down now..
I will update pics today Picked up a mini washing machine PAYLOAD and threw in about a lb of Matanuska Thunder fuck and made me some hash last night it was pretty easy..

ya, no joke. i thought (was hoping) you meant a lb. of trim... but that looks like a lb. of buds. i'd be trying to sell that shite, bro. imo, hash would never pay off - though a little just for personal use is always in order
checked out a couple vids of that machine - looks pretty nifty.

Ok so here is what I did I basicly started over....Ya it hurt but I did not want it to kill me in the end..The roots where white when I pulled them so it was not root rot...I never PHd the slabs just put them rite on and thats where I went wrong...I satarted all over fresh cuttings soaked the cubes for 18 hrs in a ph of 5.5..dimmed the lights only running 4 x 1000 watts at 75% they took off like no other they look very happy and I have already seen new growth..It was hard starting over but it will pay off in the end. Gonna hold off on the slabs until a couple more weeks. Then I will get a kiddy pool and soak them in a ph of 5.0 and it should end up at 5.5 after 24 hrs.. I almost gave up on the hydro but decided to stick it out ...So you can call today day 1..
right on.
eventually (...eventually...) you will be the god of hydro
i have no doubt. least you had some plants to take cuttings off of - from the sound of it. i'd hate to think of you running out and plunking down cashola on store-bought clones. they'd pay for themselves of course, i'm just fond of cloning myself over making seed vendors and clone growers rich... but clones are actually quite a steal in Cally i guess. Takes electricity, time, and money just to grow your own ... so for the cheap-arse Cally price on clones they are well worth it.
Seed vendors are still making money hand-over-fist no matter how you look at it. Thousand(s) seeds from one plant and like 10 bucks a seed? I'd pick seeds from bud All Day Long for 10 dollars a seed !!
(EDIT: but don't try to confuse me ! day 1 is the day the clones were cut... and / or the day you switch to 12 on 12 off with the moms
)
