Hey, sleepless. Hope you're getting some sleep. Well, I think we had this discussion sometime a couple months ago. Not sure if it had it's own thread or not, but anyway. Here is some of the conclusions we reached, to the best of my knowledge.

I would not personally glue mylar directly to a wall as that would be a pain in the ass to remove and/or clean. I believe someone had the idea of creating a square/rectangle of cardboard and gluing the mylar to that and then tacking that to the wall. You really wanna try to preserve the wall as much as possible. It also makes for easier cleaning and replacing of the mylar when needed...and quicker breakdown if that should be a necessity.

I think there was something else, but I can't think of it right now. Oh, try some spray adhesive if you are going to go the cardboard frame route.

As far as the reflective tops for your pots, that is a good idea. They are actually sold like that with the hole and the slit in the side and everything, so before you go spending all that time making them, you may want to check by a hydro store to see if you can pick some up and save time...unless you have more time and less money.

Those are also good for preventing mold from growing in your pot/on your rockwool, depending what you are using. It will help with reflectivity on the bottom, but is overall just a good idea, IMO.

Welcome to the boards, sleepeless.

...and HI, Mrs. G.
