Is gift wrap like mylar?

[GrowRebel]

A friend told me that the silver gift wrap is the same material as mylar. Anyone hear this? Does the silver gift wrap have the same reflective properties as mylar?

Thank you for your time. :jointsmile:

Mas o Menos.... It will really not make that much of a differece in your yield... especially if your lights are at the correct distance from your plants...

I would bet Mylar is a lot stronger and will last much much longer..

You can pick up mylar at wal-mart in the camping section. They sell it as "emergency blankets". Like $1.50 for a shit load of mylar. Only problem is it is really thin and tears, so if you plan on stapling it, put tape over the parts you are going to staple first.

Yes, but I already have the gift wrap .... will it work?

Thanks :jointsmile:

Oh wow:jointsmile: ..... I did a google search on mylar and the different color gift wrap is mylar as well! Would green or red be better than the silver?

What do you think? Would that reflect the light and give a color the plant needs?:stoned: I'm sure it will be on sale for half price after Christmas ..... comments?

Silver would be the best since it would reflect all light. Red or green would only reflect partial light, and you definitely wouldn't want green. Plants don't absorb green light, they reflect its, which is why they look green

I didn't know that ..... I learned something new again today! Thanks
