Should my bulbs be vertical or horizontal?

which is more efficient? I'm talking about cfl's by the way

Whatever position gets the most surface area of the bulb closest to the most surface area of the plant

iloveyou

So basically it boils down to if I use a reflector or not, or at least which type of reflector?

yeah, well..... sort of.. you could always turnthe reflector VERTICAL and have it along the HEIGHT of the plant...


cheers

that just opens up a whole new world of idea:run:

Thanks for the speedy replies.

anything for a wise owl

the most efficient use of a bulb would be surrounded by the plant 360 degrees...go from there...with cfl's it's easy, with hps/mh it requires a screen to keep plants at the cool-enuf distance...
