whats crackin guys ...did a little experiment just because i hate wasteing mylar cuz as you know its some pretty high dollar shit ....well i work in the construction biz and im always working with tyvek (home wrap) and i started to notice while on a ladder that it was so bright of a reflection that i could bearly see shit... so i put 2 n 2 together took a few leftover peices home n over about a 4 week course i started to notice my tyvek room was smokin my mylar room by about 5" -6" which was enough for me to go steal some more tyvek from work....both rooms had the same drip irrigation same nutes temp ph ppms lighting ... and all the other bullshit but the main thing is WE CAN FINALLY QUIT GOIN BROKE OVER MYLAR WOOO and heres the best part guys you can get it lows or home depot...it is sorta high but its enough to wrap a house i mean common ive already got my new flower room decked out in it and when i switch from veg im takin my mylar down for good cuz the mylar room as i call it is startin to just be a dissopointment to me......your welcome word to yo momma n em

I buy mine in 25 or 50 ft rolls online. Its about a buck a foot.

But I looked up tyvek, are you talkin about that white stuff with blue tyvek on it?

May be a good insulator too.
