Should I use reflectors or not?

So I finally made the switch to Cob's from hid, I bought the 400w vero29 v7 from timber lights and I was wondering what more experienced users of cobs recommend. I have a 3x3x6 tent and I'm wondering whether to use the reflectors or not. Thanks in advance

No imho

in a 3x3 tent i say negatory

No reflectors needed in a tent...

Thanks guys I thought that I had read that you don't need them in a tent, thanks again for the responses!

No I just got the light so I'm trying to dial it in first, I just have 2 that I just started to flower so I'm hoping for big things from it. Good luck

It depends on how big your plants are. I use them because most of my plants are 4ft tall so I need the penetration

Wow, that's impressive.

I have a flat canopy and have done reflectors and lenses and bare and they all have strong points but having either/or is nice. I don't like to do things always the same way but the bare COBs can be quite close for LST or scrog and work well.

Would running reflectors on only the outside row of a larger array help to even out PPFD? Or are beam angle and PPFD unrelated?

That seems interesting at first blush.

I totally agree, bigger the plant the more 'aimed' the light required
