I know you are in Aus mate, are there any Hydroponic stores down under?
Or you could get some off the net.

yeah ive seen a few, but would they carry Mylar?

on the net i can get it, but it costs a fair bit more for shipping and all that.

ill go for a drive today and have a look for some.

anyway, take a look at my temporary set-up, nd the car sun shade in action, lol.

i am also going to buy one more blue spectrum 23 watt 6500k CFL today or tomorrow, as you'll see with the pics, i have a spare floodlight fixture i can use. as i am using a floodlight fixture for one current cfl.

i have a question bout cfls, i have a blue spectrum one in there atm, would it do any damage what-so-ever to add the red spectrum one in aswell,? its 2700k and 1550 lumens i think.

no, you actually WANT some red, just more blue than red during vegatative growth, say a 3 - 1 ratio, blue to red. reverse the ratio when you're ready to flower

bozo,
peace, love, dope
