Hey i got a quick question on reflective material to use in a grow room. Is it ok to use mirrors? Cuz like, it seems like everyone is looking for the most reflective material possible, and it seems to me like mirrors would reflect everything (maybe thats bad tho). Any answer is appreciated and I'll try to refrain from hijacking your thread in the future!

I have 1 Strawberry Cough, 1 Big Blue going now. It has been one week since I put those beans into germinating. I will be using 200W of CFL's for vegging, and 225W hps for flowering. I am using basic soil again from wal-mart with added vermiculite. I am growing in a space approx 2.5ft square. So, day 1 of vegging begins today. I will update once a week, every Monday, right here on this thread Rating: 5

mirrors absorb sun light and artifical light. best bet is to use some mylar, or paint the sides white.

Exactly. Using mirrors is a bad idea. Like he said, use some mylar, or coat the sides of your walls white. You can use tinfoil, but use the dull side of it, not the shiney side. After putting up the mylar last night, I noticed a huge change in light, it was much brighter. So I suggest something white on your walls. Peace.

mine went up last night to replace the reflectix
its a HUGE difference in the amount of light!!
fans lightly blow the mylar and change the light pattern..

imagine using this from the get go would increase more growth!!

settle for nothing else.

I use reflective water heater blankets on the walls.

But for the top and bottom, strictly white....

Ah....who gives a shit what I use?

[AngryJohnny]

this whole process is a growing experience for which cost lots o money to get perfect.
$1300 so far for my 1st grow just up to veg.. just need the ferts for flower

when its time for change, give the mylar a shot.. think its a keeper..

TiVo on..

Yea this shit does add up fast doesnt it?

I mean to do it right...certainly.

But it will pay off after a few good harvests...or even a couple of good ones.

But who cares?

It's the bond...the community...the interaction with one another fellow stoners that is important here....right?

That's right! No one else knows of this except you people, I like it that way. I love sharing experiences and seeing what other people can do. It may cost some at first, but once you got it down, you got it. It's fun and has great rewards. Peace and keep on growing!
