Mylar Vs. Flat White

Damn 5 Minute edit limit

I do not grow indoors anymore do to I was
robbed once and I have feel in love with
growing outdoors now. I grew inside for
around 6 years but after i was ripped off
like that my opinions of people and what
I do has changed. I still miss walking into
my little grow room and seeing my accompl-
ishments though.

What is in that picture you use for your avatar? I see some third-world children in the background staring intently, but I am still confused as to what that thing is...

Thanks!

Personally i'd go for mylar, but then again, paint would be fine if i didnt have the place or money to get the mylar.

[elcheapo]

All the information I have seen indicates that mylar is superior to white paint for reflectivity. Cleaning etc is another question.
You may not notice the difference if you have a 1000watt HID 12 inches above your scrog canopy. But CFL growers will notice the difference. I do anyway.

[LIP]

Yeah, id say the same for CFL's

[yabatab]

I used a 1000 watt HPS for vegetive and a 1000 watt Metal
Halide for flowering in an 8x8 room usually fitting around
6-7 plants. I don't know if the lighting i used had anything to
do with the reflection off the flat white paint, most of the time
yielding around a pound- 2 pounds a plant give or take. (cured weight)
Maybe im just hard headed when i find something that works
I stick with it. The whole if its not broke don't fix it theory. Some
growers get to complicated in their growing methods and take
all the fun out of it. Growing is meant to be enjoyed. My advice
to any new grower indoor or out door is to buy a simple grow
book Ed Rosenthal's books are the ones i enjoyed the most
simple and to the point, and that if you are a beginner do
not expect some miraculous yield your first time around.
You will pick up little tricks of the trade with each grow and
over all make it an enjoyable experience not a stressful one.
Trying to fit all you have herd into your first go around will
only leave you in disappointment and possibly so feed up
that you give up on another try.

Ok im over my little speach proccess now.......LOL
Happy growing to all

foylon 94-95%
mylar 90-95%
panda plastic 89-90%
flay white paint 85-93%
semi gloss white 75-80%
flat yellow 70-80%
aluminum foil 70-75%
Black 5-10%

I use panda plastic, because it gives me a light tight black on one side and 90% reflective white on the other, and doesn't look like dope growing reflective material...peace

Paint, it's cheap and that's all i care about!
