    Default Reaching darker areas in your tent

    Hey guys so I'm growing 2 King Kush and 2 White Widows in a 1m x 1m grow tent with a 600w HPS DS bulb.

    It's Day 6 flowering and since the tent has to stay open for the a\c to be effective, I decided to use the extra space for more branches (pics below) and I'm thinking of installing a bulb or two just where the small work LED is installed (front right) and in the other side as well so the canopy that's reaching out will recieve proper lightning.

    What would your recommendations be like for such a fix for the best budget?

    use a parabolic shade mate, they offer the best light spread available and will also drop your temp slightly

    Thanks man,
    I actually stretched my reflector so the angle is as wide as possible and it really did help a lot. do you think the shade will still do better work then let's say a 25-50w LED?

    i use a 600w and a parabolic, this is a plant that's the furthest away from the actual bulb



    can't get better light spread unless you wanna use 2x 400w lights with a smaller shade/foot print

    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    Can't you just leave it unzipped so the air can circulate but you still have the reflective door?
