well i spray painted my locker flat white today but before i left for work it still smelled like spray paint, thats probably a bad thing, since it might affect the plants and make my room and cloths smell like it aswell. I just ran into some cash (hopefully i dont spend it all on some nicer weed then shit i have now) so whats the best stuff you could use? mylar is great i've read.

anything reflective will work.

The smaller the light source, the more important reflectivity becomes.

I bought some thermal blankets from Wal-Mart for $1.96.. I dont know how well they work, but its shiny as F#@K... I still think WHITE PAINT is good, Mylar is the best, but its a pain hanging if your wall aint flat.. and GOD forbid you want to clean the walls..

True, if youre poor and living in the ghetto you could use tinfoil.

Other than that, I would most definatly use mylar then whitepaint.

If you look at any of my pics, I used the thermal water heater blankets from The Home Depot.

I prefer that over ALL the other types...because that foil tape that we all use and love actually sticks to it :)

It's washable, very sturdy, insulative in nature, reflective enuff to work and very easy to handle and hang.

For you ghetto growers, its $22.00 a roll and I used two rolls in a 30" X 18" X 72" closet. Not cheap, but lasts forever. It is also extremley easy to repair or patch with the foil tape :)

what does that do? is it so the poliece hellicopters cant use their infrared shit on you?

or is it just to give the plants more light?

No dude... nothing that has to do with police helicopters...

It's just so the plants get more light. It's a reflective material, and you're supposed to cover all possible surfaces of a grow room with it. Of course, that is if you're so obsesed with such reflectivity... like HarddOn was. But take a look @ Mand's grow... she has brickwalls behind her plants and they seem to be doing better than average.

But no, no anti-police shit.
