Tin foil has a different finish than mylar, and with all the creases in tin foil a HID will bounce its rays in different directions creating hot spots which could potentially burn ur plants leaves.

But If U are Using CFL's U dont have to worry about hot spots, CFLs dont produce enough light to create them.

18 year olds can be in juvy, and have been, and i've met them. and who knows whether or not i live with my mom?
Economy is rough and it's highly plausible i live with my parents while i work to strike it out on my own...<- this statement does not beyond a reasonable doubt prove me to be under age.

... shut it down then, it's an internet thread. It's not the end of the world, i do this because it's just a past-time.
People are too serious about too much man, isn't the moto "chill out and smoke another one"??

really i'm just doing this because i enjoy doing what ever other person on this forum does, and that's growing and smoking weed... so i'm honestly not too concerned if a forum has problems with me screwing around and posting something like this.

not being obscene or striking out, i'm just paying forward my two cents

a great option for large grow rooms or for people who are interested in a low maintenance wall. Flat white paint has the ability to reflect between 75-85% of the light, and does not create hotspots. Adding a fungicide is recommended when painting.

Glossy and eggshell whites not reflect light as efficiently as flat white. Semi-gloss paint for example, only has the ability to reflect between 55-60% of the light. Also important to remember when using paint is that any smears or blemishes on the surface take away from how reflective the wall is so care should be taken to avoid marking or staining the walls. Titanium white paint is very reflective; however it is usually only used on reflectors due to its high cost.

Flat white is actually second best when compared to mylar.
But comparing Flat white to Tin Foil is kind like comparing Tobacco to Weed
(tin foil always loses) the reflectiveness cant stand next to an all white room.
But with mylar on the walls its extra shiney!:-P

Me?? well... yea.
But i won't, because i'm not really gonna risk it with a meeting in... 12 days or so.
Round hur we blow trees!...Yea man I'm down with your grow:D It's about having fun lol and it seems to be entertaining you well enough. But fuck don't get in trouble with the law over it you should make a last ditch plan to get rid of that shit quick...Maybe chop up the plant and flush it and toss the soil out your window? Idk how much time you have to get rid of that shit though.

I guess so

heres some pics of my buds I grew under CFL's to give U some inspiration kid




haha why thanks... really though, by October i'll have up my serious grow, which you guys won't have to shake your heads over and mutter to yourself "dumb@$$..."
... which is what i'm sensing a few have done so far

.... should be great, i'm waiting for April more than little kids wait for Christmas...

oh i'll probably have a fan over it, which should at least put some fears of fire at bay. And it's right next to my bed i'll have a good warning should anything horribly disastrous happen...
