mirrors reflect less light than flat white wall paint and are much more expensive.

I think the question is the "type" of mirror. Probably the thickness and coating/material to it too. If its a plane mirror, its flat and reflects light in one direction. If it has a curve to it, it can focus or diffuse light. If it has a diamond pattern to it(or other), it can reflect it in all different directions. Last edited by Drizzle; 07-12-2007 at 06:37 PM. |

Yeah I learned in school that mirrors do reflect light but a lot of it is absorbed. I guess I should have said that mirrors do reflect some light and they absorb a percentage of light. Now there are different shapes and types of mirrors that have different qualities so some are better than others. But as a general rule mirrors are not that great for growing with and they are exspensive white paint is cheaper and better. |

would be a good way to start a fire in your grow room it would make to much heat i think its hard enough keeping your room cool as it is were as flat white only seems to reflect light.

If you dont want to go down the diamond pattern mylar route, best bet is to just paint the walls white. |

Oh no, I dont want to deal with paint. I'd end up making a mess anyway! Thanks for that warning, I'll look for the diamond patterns! |

Mirrors do reflect light but they also absorb light we did an experment that proved such in one of my university labs  |
