Thinking of just throwing my 3 plants in my basement with no tent, just in the corner of the basement. How important is not having mylar or some type of reflection ???
 
Not a huge deal, but it definitely helps catch some stray lumens.

Some plain old flat white paint works great, too.


U seem correct... Yeah mine just throw these 3 in a corner of basement. Any growing tips for doing 3 plants with a 600hps???...Cant use a scrog net with 3 plants, it will be a pain to refill and check rez etc... I topped at 4th true set off leaves and am only going to have 4 main branches in dwc each plant has its own 5g... Any growing methods would help.. Trying to get 20oz's every 3 months with this setup. Was getting 5.5oz's in a tent with only 2.5 sq with 1.75 hps scrogging, so I know what im doing in dwc.
 
Having Mylar or any type of reflection is not necessary but it helps to refract the light that is not emitted towards your plants. I've seen people drape Mylar around their plants without a tent. Obtaining 20 oz. is dependent on the strain your growing. But keep in mind the difference between wet and dry weight. Good Luck!
