reflective room material?
So I have a 3x6 room, all dedicated to veg right now, and I was looking for some input on the importance of reflective material.
I've read of people using mylar (of course), flat white paint, and the one I'm thinking about, emergency blankets.
What are people's thoughts on emergency blankets? Do they burn like aluminum foil? Is white paint enough?
Thanks!

I don't know if you saw my thread about the poor grower version for mylar, but I did decide to get the 2 mil mylar...
however a friend told me it checked his area with a light meter and found the flat white paint did a better job at reflecting than the mylar ....
.... after I paid $26 for 25'. Oh well .... it looks pretty anyway .... so I would say it's up to you .... flat white paint is inexpensive, easy to clean and according to my friend reflects the best. You can get cheap mylar now with the gift wrap going on sale at half price the silver mylar in gift wrap .... I paid $3 full price for 55 sq. ft.
Hope this helps :rastasmoke:

Flat white paint is much easier to work with and keep clean. It can even be easier if you use plywood panels and paint them. They not only save you from repainting walls but they're also portible. I bought 2 of the cheapest sheets and had them cut in quarters at the lumber yard, which is perfect for a 4' sq area, then attached hinges so they stand alone w/o support.

I'll have to troll the local wall-mart (SIC) to see if they have any left. The last time I was there (looking for pots and soil, of which they had neither) they were working hard to blow out the X-Mas stuff, so we'll see.
Thanks for the input. I'll post what I get, if I can get anything. It'd be funny to line the room with mylar sheets with little christmas trees on them...~herbaltivo

it is proven scientifically and recorded in a book by ed rosenthal that flat white paint reflects light best.
