Had some plants growing outside for a month and a half, unfortunately I can throw a rock and hit the police station so once they hit 3 ft. i had to call an end to the experiment.

Now i'm setting up a grow room in my attic- this could be a terrible idea due to the heat in the summer time which I have little to no control over other than fans....

but how does everyone feel about aluminum foil lining the walls- is this an effictive way to reflect the light? once I get this set up in a couple weeks I'll post picks of the set-up when its done---

currently waiting on the light in the mail.

Amazon.com: Hydrofarm FLC0125D Fluorescent Grow Light System: Home & Garden

think that'll work for a 3x8x5 grow area?

lastly someone reccomend me a cheap plant food that I can get at any garden store. i hear 20/20/20 isn't the way to go so someone please enlighten me.

thanks

Aluminum foil is a very common mistake
in first time grow rooms. While the foil will
reflect light, it also reflects pockets of heat
as well. This is very dangerous because it
can create these pockets of heat on your
plants in unforeseen ways and can easily
burn your plants. If you want good indoor
coverage, I would suggest looking for white
instead of metal. White will reflect light as
more evenly and efficiently. My person, and
extremely cheap, method right this second
is using white drawer liner. You get them
rolls from the hardware store. They are
for lining the bottom of your kitchen
drawers. They are made of plastic and
will not hold water and rot, and they are
mildly sticky on the back. I duct taped
mine on the inside of my grow box.

But I can assure that poly panda paper
will be the best thing you can get.
Mine is in the mail.

Good luck!

The Panda stuff is great, or you could just paint the walls white.

White paperboard comes in giant sheets for like 67 cents. Staple it up.

Sorry, here's my favorite company for food. Check them out. All natural.
