This method and spreading-out the plant result in each plant taking up a lot of space. How does productivity in terms of weight of buds per square foot growing space compare with filling the tent, all its space, with more plants and maintaining a level canopy?My thoughts were the same in the beginning, but it's actually not a no-brainer. Canopy maintenance and training in general are way beyond other methods, imho. Also, you really have to know what you are doing. Brain involvement is definitely needed, at least in the beginning, to learn this form of art and plant cultivation. Hehe, please don't get me wrong—I still love the work and the 420scrog method.
At first, I kept asking myself: Why isn’t everyone growing like this? And: Why isn’t it done on an industrial scale?
Some possible reasons could be: Without restrictions regarding the number of plants or general growing space, other training techniques might be more suitable because they require less manual labor. Additionally, you can’t work with clones, since this method is done with autoflowers. (But could be done with photos aswell I guess, but they won't perform as good since 12hours of light during flower instead of 24hours).
But for private growers, especially those limited to a small number of plants, this method is wonderful. It’s also perfect for growmies who love high-performance gardening and pushing their plants to their limits.
Just my 2 cents. Happy to hear other opinions aswell.

From what I've seen (which could be manufacturer hype) it is better to have a reflective surface that diffuses the light, such as silvered mylar with a textured pattern or a matte white surface. Mirror-like surfaces can result in too much light reflected/focused on specific plants or parts of plants (uneven lighting).
Otherwise, I was not aware that a silvered, mirror-type surface could ever beat a highly reflective (e.g., ≥94%) white surface in terms of percent of light reflected? Just looking at it, the silver is not as inherently reflective as bright white (high quality titanium dioxide-based).
It is illegal to falsely claim a trademark has been formally registered by using the "R" registration mark symbol. Rather, use the "TM" symbol, indicating you informally claim trademark rights and that the mark has not been granted/registered. [I presume "420-Method®" has not been registered]. Otherwise, before using you really need to check that a candidate mark is not infringing one or more already-granted trademarks.I love the R for the registration mark, a nice touch, I don't know even how to type that out
Yes seems innocent, but any public domain/published (such as here) infringement can cause problems and expenses for the registered trademark owner. Owners are required to defend their marks. This includes searching for any/all infringing use and when found, formally warning users they are infringing trademark rights.I think it's just for this forum

Is there a cost?™ or ®.
Yep, was kidding around of course. ( But if 420 ever does want to trademark
his method, the trademark's available.)

This is what I learned too, first from watching tests run by Shane at Migro ( LED light manufacturer ), and then messing around with Photone + diffuser myself. Don't know if it's OK to post external links here, so ...
Go to YouTube > Migro > then search his channel for these titles:
Most recent: "White paint vs silver mylar test for grow rooms".
An older one that includes different types of mylar: "Grow room reflective materials compared - Silver mylar - Matt white paint - Gloss white".
