A Theory For You to Consider

Now I only just got into the whole idea of ScrOGing and I'll be doing it with my upcoming crop but I just had this crazy idea that, if you could line up say CFL's in a tube pattern and have the screen in a circle along that tube, wouldn't that be about as efficient as it could get?

--------------------------
=8 =8 =8 =8
--------------------------
(----- would be the screen, =8 would be the CFL's)
A cutaway visual of what it would look like, with the screen basically surrounding the lights. I'm just theorizing, so, if you can disprove me, please, go ahead.

Awesome.... If I wasn't a first-time ScrOGer I would do that this very second. Oh well, time will come ;)

yeah, i do basically that idea. i bought steel racks from costco that have adjustable heights and i basically created a hallway out of them. i have a vertical air cooled tube with 3 600 hps and i hung it vertically on a light mover. The light column moves down the hallway with plants on either side. my veg room has another light tube with a circle of plants around them. ultimate efficiency! 2 g. per watt, and im not even using co2 yet!

I saw some pretty cool shit a dude did with a trash bin, I'd love to try stringing CFL's vertically down the center of a full-size trash can and ScrOGing around that! Drop a fan in the bottom pointed up and turn someone's trash into your treasure:mrgreen:
