See Doobie. You threw me right off why I popped in. I wanted to share this story. It's one I'd love to hear the rest of.

Quebec man nears end of 11-year walk around the world



http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20111014/walk-around-world-111014/
I meant to reply to this earlier, but got caught up working on my Reggae beat in Ableton Live and me lost track of de time, mon.
:blsmoke:
....I was gonna type a reply to your post, but I got high...
....I was gonna write a response in kind, but then I got high...
....So if you ask me why "Hey, why?",
all I 'll say is: that I was high, that I was high, that I was highhhh...
la-da-de-da-de-da-daaa....


Anyways, that was a cool article.
Man, talk about a Road Dog.
Will make a good book to read.
And a movie/TV Movie, no doubt.

That dude is 11 years older than me, and looks my age.
But in good shape.
;-)

this is what i was talking about....see how i turnd the light around?
No that doesn't get rid of the problem i'll show another picture why
Although now i've drawn it up, it's still happening but that angle is probably better than the other way

If you dont understand the way the light is emitted from the bulb, no matter how many times you redraw your diagram, you are going to think its wrong...

Well according to some people there is no problem, that light some how travels around solid objects without losing intensity? (is that what you are trying to tell me billcollector99? That you can have no direct line of sight to the glass of the globe but the same intensity as if you did? I'm not being sarcastic i'm seriously asking how you think my sketch is wrong). I have actually put a photo up in this thread showing my grow and how one cola down the back (behind the socket side of the lamp) has stretched significantly more than the rest of the tops.
It's not like i think its such a black spot that it won't bud, but i definitely won't be putting my favorite strain on the socket side of the lamp.

I think i will spin it like said though, instead of 2 plants behind it would be 1 and maybe i can hike the back up a bit so it's not quite horizontal, as long as the front of the hood doesn't point lower than the tops of the plants in front

No what I am saying is you are stressing too much on one thing that isnt that important. You are too worried about the positioning of your light, and a possible dead spot that you dont know exists. If this was such a major problem in the growing community, everyone would be committing mass suicide due to not knowing the exact spot to place their light...

Go take another look at your bulb and reflector and decide if you still feel this sketch is accurate. It is not at all because the socket doesn't affect the light distribution anywhere near as much as you seem to think. The light is not emitted from above the light but approximately the center (when hung horizontal) and therefore is not blocked by the socket hardly at all. Besides, depending on your reflector, it may have reflective material on the socket side, mine do. That redirects the light in many different directions that I'm sure many of us, including you, will never understand. I'm not claiming to be any kind of genius here but can plainly see and have enought growing experience to know that Billcollector is right when he says you are worrying too much about a single thing.
Keep yours eyes and mind open and you will have greater success in your growing efforts. It allows you to see more than just a few aspects of the grow and helps you to see problems that actually WILL have a negative effect on your harvest.

I was thinking on the way home how funny some questions are. Just the simple posing of a question can tell you so much about the person asking, and their level of knowledge. I'm not trying to knock anyone. Just saying how I thought it funny.

Once you get to a certain level of competency in a given field you realize what is important, and what is merely a waste of time. One of my jobs is fixing computers, and I just love when someone asks me after I fixed something... "Well what broke exactly?", "What was going wrong with things?", or "How did you fix it?" There are simple answers like, your computer broke, something was acting up, and I hit it on it's side... then there are accurate answers like "There isn't a person on this earth that could tell you exactly what went wrong with your computer, and even if there was it wouldn't make a cent of difference to anyone, especially someone like you who has no idea what you are talking about in the first place". Both answers don't get you anywhere, and I've found it much easier to just say nothing, or "I don't know"

Hi everyone, I will be joining the 600w club soon. Got most of the gear just haven`t desided if it`ll be in a room or in a tent yet. Once setup and running I`ll up some pics.
I still got a lot of reading and learning to do first as i`ve never done indoor before.
