DawgMountain Active Member Sep 3, 2010 #2 Depends what lights you are using. I would think that CFLs wouldn't have that problem. I won't do it with a 400w HPS.

kevin Well-Known Member Sep 3, 2010 #3 you can use tin foil but it's the last thing i would use. i took my mylar down and painted the walls flat white, a lot easier to take care of.

Dirtfree Well-Known Member Sep 3, 2010 #7 Sorry,I didnt mean to imply that you where on a budget. I was adding my 2 cents to what you said.
bobbyhopefeild Active Member Sep 3, 2010 #8 yellow paint is more reflective than tin foil, go for flat white or better yet titanium white paint for cheapness and ease and mylar or foylon for something more expensive but slighty more reflective
