Hi all.

I'm new here, first post. I've been a lurker here for long enough now, so I figured I'd join.

I'm currently looking to set up a grow room. Unfortunately I can't set one up where I am right now, I live in an apartment, and I am not interested in a closet type set up. But, I am looking at houses right now and when I find one, I want to make sure it has a good spot for a hidden room...

I have access to a some large mirrors that could be used to line the walls with. I've done some research using google, and I've gathered that it's not a good idea to use mirrors. What I am seeking to understand, is why are mirrors not recommended as a reflective surface?

Thanks in advance!

they absorb more light than they give off.

When light hits a mirror it has to pass through the glass and then is reflected back through the glass which absorbs certain spectrums of the light.

Awesome, thanks for the answers!
