I kinda jumped into growing on a whim, with a pitifully small budget. Between my lighting, soil, nutes, tent, pots, seeds, etc; I have about $300 invested so far, give or take. By the standards of those of you who've been doing it for a while and know what you're doing, I'm sure you'd consider my stuff total shit, but it's the best I could do. In the future, I intend to upgrade to Optic LED lighting, but for now I'm hoping I can improve what I already have with some small mods.

I'm currently running a Morsen Max5 as my main light. It's a "1500 watt" setup with an actual draw of around 240 watts. I paid $77 shipped from Amazon and so far the plants seem to be doing well enough, so in my mind I got a decent deal. Just wondering if I can make what I have a bit better until I can afford an update.


My question: Would there be any upside to adding glass lenses and reflectors to it?


Would I gain anything at all by putting them on? Would it potentially hurt anything?
