Reflection for my cfls

[dadogg]

I plan on useing two cool and two warm white cfls 3x3x5 growing area.Will the chrome side of dorito bags,or mylar ballons work good on the walls for reflection

[psteve]

Mylar, yes. Chip bags, no.
Flat white paint is better.

so mylar balloons will work then.

annaconda had mylar balloons at first in her grow. try the space/camping/emergency blankets at walmart or camping supply store. i guess they are cheap and easy to come by.

A friend of mine has some flat white paint, but when we opened the can and mixed it up it was like a cream looking color.Does this mean the paint is no good.

depened some white paint has a off tint colour to it so u can see where you painted, it should dry pure white.

What you want is super bright, flat titanium white. If it has a yellow tint, it will not reflect as well.

Well I was planning on useing cool white and warm white cfls.Well,I found cool daylight white that should work right,but I couldn't find warm white cfls.Will soft white cfls work for flowering.

well if you dont mind may i say something go with hid lighting ebay has great deals on hps and mh lights i would buy a 400 watt hid light for your space though flouros do run cooloer than hid lights but ive never used em to grow with so i dont know your question

[2broke2smoke]

I like the 105 watt 6500k CFL's for vegging, Have never tried CFL's for flowering though. I would look for something in the 3600K-4700K range for the redder spectrum.

just my 2p
