i was going to start a new growing area and was wondering if it is ok to use.
it is an old wardrobe size is.... height 71 inch width30 breadth 19.will this work and if so how many plants can i put in there...how many fans and what lights would be best????
Check the cabinet section your area is about the same size of some the cabinets people are using.
is foil or white paint better for the sides????
Foil should be better... but the crinkles that will appear on its surface will create 'hot-spots' that can work as tiny laser beams... and burn holes through your plants!
If you can't get Mylar, and there's no possibility of getting Mylar, and you've already tried of getting Mylar, then you should use white paint.
Best,

i seen mylar on ebay for £25.00 for 10 metres is that ok???
mylar is great, I agree with turtle on that but white paint is better than foil by quite a lot though. foil is only like 30 or 40% reflective, wheras white paints like somewhere in the 80's. If you are using foil. don't use shiny side as it creates hot spots, but it's best to get mylar. £25 for 10 square meters, or if not what width?
THE ROLL IS A 10M
length and is 1.4 metres wide. Therefore for every 1 metre unit you buy of Mylar, you will receive 1.4 square metres of material.
ye thats good value I got 5m of it at 1.4m wide for 15. So you've got a pretty good deal
