ok,after all my hard work and thinking i finally got the space where to build my growbox room:D i only live in 1 bedroom flat..:D
ok heres the pictures from outside cos in nothing done inside yet..
1.thats what you see when i walk in.just 2 wardrobes in the corner.
2. smaller wardrobe.
3.open the door,and push the backpanel..
4,and voila perfect space for few sexy girls..
1 question,would 400w SOD enough to flower 4 plants and would normal tenfoil be allright for the walls?
that would be plenty of light but as for tin foil that is a very bad idea. it will cause hot spots. worse reflections you can get too. Mylar would be best but i even found some knock off at the local flower shop. If you look around you could get some pretty cheap stuff.
thanking you sir,yeah made some fast research and your right,tenfoil is a BAD IDEA..so i googled mylar up and i found thisQuote:

Flat white paint is nearly as good. The efficiency gain of Mylar or other reflective product really isn't worth the dosh. Further, with that stuff tacked up to your wall you risk growing mold or providing a home for pests between the wall and the product. Just use paint and be done with it.
If you don't want to paint. Get some black & white poly. (Here it is called panda film) It's way cheaper than mylar.
It comes in a ten foot wide roll, and here it costs $1.00 a foot. (Ten square feet for a buck.)
Ask for it when you go to that grow shop you just found. :thumbsup:
Another option is reflectixs (an insulated reflector foil made to back a heating element such as a radiator) which can be found at most home improvement stores. It is actually better than Mylar or panda film and more durable but again, you have to consider the costs + the increased risk of mold & pests. You will only gain a few lumens over flat white paint.
thanx all:D now i need to make my minds up;)
nit i wouldn be worried bout pests,cos iv 2 of these electronic plug in things in the house,last 2 years i didnt see not eaven 1 insect or anithing else im my room.not eaven 1..
but yous are right,i do have do worry bout mould:(
cheaars mates.
i made my minds up.im going to paint it white,whats better matt or extra matt?any idea?
Both not better. Not matt, flat white. Or bright?
