thank you

if that has any type of aluminum foiling on it, do not use it. it will create hot spots on your plants, depending on the wattage of bulbs your using.

hat should i use that will make it light proof and will reflect light

You will need 3 boxes. I am assuming the ceiling is 8' high. 2 feet is 24 inches, so the 2' walls need 1.5 sheets 8 foot long, so thats one box. 4 feet is 48 inches, so those walls need 3 sheets each, 8 foot long, thats another box per wall.

Get mylar and head to your local HD or whatever and ask for a can of spray glue, or label adhesive. Cut your sheets to size, roll them up neatly and evenly, then spray your wall with glue, let sit a few seconds, start mylar on evenly at bottom, and work way up. If you take a window squeege and wrap in paper towels, you can apply it very smoothly with no wrinkles. Only spray a section about 2 feet at a time, or the glue will dry on ya too quickly and it will result in a shitty job.

Then you can easily and neatly cut out your vent holes, electrical outlets, etc easily using an Exacto knife or some such item. Just pull off any face plates before you begin and cover outlets over as you apply. I duct taped my outlets to keep the glue out of them. Use a small finishing nail or ice pick to neatly make any screw holes you need to replace the screws to hold plates back on.

P.S. Makes life very simple if ya got a 4x8 sheet of at least 1/2 inch plywood on saw horses to use as your cutting table:rasta:

actully the room is 2'x'4ft hieght 6 feet

i have a quistion what color is a cool bulb or do they come in any colors

i have a choice between these reflectors White Batwing Reflector or Chrome Batwing Reflecto which 1 should i use

mylar is gonna get messy when it gets wet. Get some poly film. I dont know what reflectix is, but if it's poly film, then that's what you want.

Do a google search for "panda film"
