3. An in episode of Weeds I seen they had this type of insultation on the walls that not only seem to be used as a reflective but as from heat being seen from the outside, does anyone know what type that is? I didn't see that, but there are thermal blankets that reflect both light and heat. I know some people use these in their grow.

No I mean actual watts cause I have 1200w worth of CFLs right now that me and the woman constructed.


As for that insulation, I guess it wasnt that but this stuff called PolyShield seems to be something pretty good considering that its highly reflective as well but keeps heat imaging in.

Check out this pic of them having a 1000w MH bulb sitting behind it
