    White paint in flower chamber of cab; advice needed please.

    Well I guess we'll see what happens. I just got done priming w/ 1-2-3-Primer and it's drying as we speak. I was looking at paints at the hardware store and saw Rustoleum makes a clear reflective paint. HERE is it's link. I may buy a can and test it on a "test panel" to see how reflective it is...

    Ever heard of Rustoleum Reflective Paint?

    HERE is the direct link. I believe it goes on clear to go over any color. I was thinking this over my 1-2-3 Primer painted flower chamber of my cab. I know there are very expensive industrial reflective paints but this is a much cheaper alternative. Just wanted to know if anyone ever used this.

    cool tubes and fluorescents?

    I have seen people grow with fluorescents where the plants are touching the bulbs. And if you had a cooltube to go with it you could for sure be very close if not touching them.

    grow cabinet in need of some hardware

    Usually I come to these forums to get info, but every now and again I see someone that is going through what I am now. You never specified if the cab will have multiple chambers (VEG/FLOWER/UTILITY/DRYING) Some have one and some have all of the above. So if you are you will have to figure a...

    White paint in flower chamber of cab; advice needed please.

    I agree, I am aware that flat whit is a primer; but isn't Kilz and 1-2-3 primer different in some ways?

    White paint in flower chamber of cab; advice needed please.

    I am just about to the point where I will be painting my flower/grow chamber of my cab. It is constructed from an old office cabinet that is particle/pressed board with a laminate on it. I intend to scuff up the surface for a better paint adherent. What are the best choices of white paint to...

    First time grow, need some advice on Mom plant(s) Hydro/Soil

    I am going for a stealth cab grow. My Veg chamber is 12"(w) x 25"(h) x 23"(d). I have 2 very bright 42w Fluorex CFL's with a makeshift reflector to evenly disperse my light to my ladies. Flower is 24" Square for a Scrog grow (height is irrelevant since my cool tube will always be right above...

    2-42w Fluorex CFL's in a small veg chamber?

    14"(w)x24"(h)x23"(d) to be exact. Appox 4.5-5/Qft. I have them mounted so the are in the very center (top) pointing towards each other. I even have a make shift reflector to help spread the light. I am still undecided on mylar or flat white paint. The lights are a distance that puts the lighted...

    Sharing a bin with multilple strains on a DWC Grow?

    I am at the next stage in my cab construction that I have to decide on the bins/buckets I want to use. I bought two 3 gallon buckets (I think 3 gallon :-?). One thing is I think I will have to go with a ScrOg grow. So I am not sure if I should save those for the mothers or Flowering. I think...

    diy cool tube

    This is great! I heard you can use Hurricane glass which is sold at most craft and hobby stores. As for the 150w, I was originally going to do the "security light" conversion from a 150w light which I know are sold at Lowes. Home Depot has 70w and 100w, but these use a ballast. I am no...

    Venting through the sewers

    It can be done, I know of a grower that was doing this. He suggested it to me. And for months I pondered how I could build a room and have a vent go to a "stink pipe" that is nowhere near the intended room. I didn't want an obvious pipe coming through a wall so I threw the plans out and found a...

    Easy CFL light reflector.

    Not trying to be a pest but I sent you a PM with some question regarding this reflector. However my Message box doesn't show a "sent" message. Did you get it? Thanks!
