ok...if you are going to put a big amout of money into lighting..i would just suggest ebay.com...i've been looking on there all day and they have SHIT LOADS of CFL's on there that come in packages of like 30 and more...for less than 50$$...just a suggestion...but you sound as if your like me and good at building so...like i did...i put a shit load of light outlets in my box and used small lights to manuver them around where i need them...AT THE BASE of the plants...at the top...think about the future of the plants...and read some on what people have problems with in later stages of plant life...some cant get lighting under the top nodes...my problem with that is solved...although i may have spent more on buying lights seperate at lowes and walmart...(you can save on ebay)...i dont have one huge light at the top making it difficult to light the bottoms of the plants...as far as mylar and white paint...i used white paint...but i am thinking of getting mylar for my box...just for the fact that mylar reflects more...i have 8 lights total...with white paint im only getting another half light reflected...but with mylar...ill get about one more whole light bulb...freeeeee...and we all like frree shit...lol...
Just a suggestion...not a pro
stickyinsalem Reviewed by stickyinsalem on . Grow room questions I've been actively reading as many threads and FAQ's as possible on building a growing room but I have a few specific concerns I'd like anyone to address, any input at this stage is very helpful. I'll begin building a grow room within the next few days which also highlights the urgency of any and all responses (I'll be using my vacation time to do this project). Anyway here's a summary: I'm going to build a small "Tool" / Storage closet in my basement, and have in the back of the closet Rating: 5
