Default Is there an easy way to make a reflector?
permalink
Iam looking for a way to make a little reflector or lamp shade type thing for my ML 400w. What kind of materials do I need to buy? Should I get them all at Home Depot? And how much do you think it will run up to be ($$)? This is going to be my first grow, so help me out!!
thanks

If you insist on making one, find a slab of thin 1/8' aluminum and bend the middle at 140 degree angle and then in the middle again on ech side

tinfoil is bad it makes hot spots and is a fire risk. also it does not reflect the light like you think it does. mylar or flat white paint is best.
