    If you are wanting to increase yeild, you will have to invest in a light system that outputs more light flux energy.
    Iv seen all sorts of setups that try to make more efficient use of a particular light source, but ultimately the only thing thats improved is the efficent use of space. One example is verticle grow setups. They yeild about the same or less as typical setups, but they make much more efficient use of the available space.
    I have also seen really well done rotation grow systems that rotate plants around a verticle light source.

    Alright blades I have been pondering an idea for awhile now. Its a simple concept that I think would greatly benefit your plants while they grow....


    The problem is that the light source is the limiting factor, no matter if you increase the surface area exposed, the amount of energy leaving the source will be the same that reaches the plant. You really only distribute the energy in a more even fashion, however i can see some negative qualitys to this also.

    If you want to try increase your yeild with the same power demands, you will want to look into plant training. Utilizing the available light as efficiently as possible by controlling your canopy and plant structure. The most efficient system there is, is likely sea of green. The more plants you have, the shorter your veg time.

    New Grow room Lights

    some of you know I will be building a new grow room . I plan on enough room so I can work around the plants and was going to use a light mover to move my 1000w hps back and forth with Leds to fill in the full spectrum has anyone used a light mover before. Or would it be better to use more lights.(not what I want to do .my electric was 500 last month) any Ideas would be appreciated Thanks
