That is reallll convenient man.... Charts are all fun and all but some line graph is meaningless if I cannot see it in action in a grow

A great grow depends on a lot more than your reflective surface. Many idiots just run out and buy a big HPS and a bunch of mylar because some stoner said its the best. Showing a graph and backing up information with quotes is much better than asking for more and more unrealistic proof. If he posted pictures of his CFL grow it would be no where near as large as the little kid who bought a big HPS and a bunch of mylar, and you would just insult it, taking it as proving your theory. Where in reality he saved $$$ and still gets to grow some quality weed.


I back up the statement that there are pictures of decent grows using foil around. You just have to look. They come by when you chill in the forums for a while.

I have been here since the beginning of 2007 and I have yet to see a decent foil grow. You two are saying that they are out there but I looked and I couldn't find anything. Can you link me to something? Thanks.... hahaha

looks good. Interesting concept clipping the fan leaves.. I've wanted to do that for my own but been too afraid.. they seem to just get in the way more than anything.

Had to search for a while, but here you go.

I think you will find it quite decent. Successful grow.

I use foil. I also use Styrofoam. And MG! And I have no reflector on my lights. Nor do I block out all the light in my grow room.
Here are my plants early flowering a week ago. 2 weeks veg.
I get my Foil at the dollar store.

I wonder if mylar or a solid wall of 1000watt HPS would be more effective.

wow this is my first time posting on here, first off: the grow is going great dude, keep it up. second, why is everyone taking up this mans thread about something that has nothing to pertain to the mans grow besides everyones personal opinion? and third, does it really matter what you use as long as your growing and your plants are happy and healthy. its not what you have or use (mylar,AF,Paint etc.) but using whatever is you can get your hands on that you think will help get your plant bigger and stronger thus granting you with a bigger yeild. just as long as we keep smoking, who cares? peace love and happy growing

welcome to RIU, haha

Look, the proof is in my closet, and it has been ever since this thread started. Here is my plant on day 8 of flowering. Aluminum foil and all.
