I have a 250watt HPS growing system. But i dont have a reflector to Put the bulb into. Is there any items at home i can use to make a reflector and still get the maximum light and heat?

foil is a no no I guess. They say it causes heat spots. Wouldn't cardboard act as a sponge for moisture?

I think I like my cookie sheet idea

id be wary about using cardboard for an hps. go to home depot and pick up some thin sheet metal. they have it in the right size pieces, and some really reflective varietys. just bend it up yourself. good luck

what are you talking about?

cardboard sucks in moisture.

dont tell me...put a piece of wet hash on a piece of cardboard and try to lift it up in like 10min and it will be stuck once you finally get it off. look at the cardboard it will be wet.
