Adjust-A-Wings AVENGER Medium 97% + spreader

The Original Adjust-A-Wing MEDIUM 97% + spreader

Thanks to its flexible form, this reflector, together with the spreader, avoids the formation of a "hot spot" (a place that gets very hot) and distributes light evenly over the entire growing area. The Adjust-a-Wings Medium reflector is manufactured from smooth aluminum with a MIRO 9 coating with a 97% reflectance, making it suitable even for several seasons of use. Installation and positioning are extremely important to realize the full potential of this tool. Both the position of the reflector and the range play a big role and must be constantly adjusted depending on the size of the plants. Therefore, in the following paragraphs we will outline in a few words the most important parameters necessary for successful use.




The kit includes:

- two wings of 55x38cm each, E40 bulb socket for HPS and MH, Super-Spreader and all necessary cables and accessories for fixing the socket, cable and for hanging the lamp


Specifications:

Medium Reflector Size: 55x55-60cm + Small Spreader 7.5x18cm
Design: WING reflector designed and patented in Australia, known all over the world, made of perforated-LUSTERED aluminum MIRO9 giving 97% reflex.


Compared to traditional reflectors:

- increased exposure area results in increased yields and electricity savings.
- thanks to the design of the WINGS reflector in combination with the Super-Spreader, the reduction of harmful heat from the HPS and MH lamp allows to bring the light up to 44% closer to the plant
- wingspan adjustment allows you to mimic the seasons.



Proper use


At the beginning of the vegetative phase, the reflector is hung relatively high above the plants ( 45 cm with spreader, 60 cm without spreader at HPS 600 W). The wingspan is set in the "narrow" position. In this way, spring conditions are simulated. At the initial stage of growth, i.e. when the plants begin to bloom and stretch (stretching), we set the reflector spread in the "wide" position. We gradually reduce the distance between the reflector and the plant to 45 cm (without spreader) or 30 cm (with spreader). Warmer air, more intense light simulates summer conditions. Once the growth is over and the flowers or fruits get bigger and start to smell more strongly, we gradually raise the reflector and again set the spreader in the "narrow" position. The final distance is 45 cm with and 75 cm without the spreader (for HPS 600 W). In this way, the autumn conditions are simulated, stimulating the production of hormones and thus the formation of luscious, rich flowers or fruits. Note: If you do not use a spreader, you should be cautious about the spacing data quoted above. Our Australian colleague's data refers to the minimum spacing. If you do not use a spreader, add another 5- 10 cm to the suggested spacing as a "safety buffer" at the beginning. If no signs of burning appear, you can reduce the distance to the values given. Position of the spreader and bulb The spreader prevents even the smallest hot spot and makes the entire surface illuminated evenly. To take full advantage of the potential of "Wings", the spreader is essential. Here, too, it is necessary to pay attention to several things. The protective shield is mounted 2- 5 mm below the bulb and bent so that it is exactly parallel to the reflector. You can also change the very distance from the reflector to the bulb, so it is possible to optimally illuminate crops of different sizes. For an 80x130 tent, the bulb is placed closer to the reflector so that the light does not escape along the sides. With a 100x100 cm box, you can increase this distance a little, so that the lamp shines more on the width. A simple rule here is: the light should reach on the sides as high as the tops of the plants growing there. The small spacing is the reason why the reflector works well, because the more light the plants can take in, the more nutrients they can absorb (and produce more flowers or fruit). Those who use Wing will certainly observe that the need for minerals and the distance of the plant from the reflector are closely related. During the phases when the distance is smallest, the need for fertilizer clearly increases, with distance - it decreases. Working with Adjust-a-Wings is a matter of experience, as with anything in indoor growing.
