Here is the link. If it doesn't work, Blame Tahoe,, hahahaha.. His other thread is what talked me into giving this a try. But it sounded sound in what was said. But I feel I can not lose in trying it out. It does not cost much. And I highly doubt it would hurt. Seeing as there is UVB light in natural light, and not in HPS lights. So if it works, my hat will be off to Tahoe. :blsmoke:

I am thinking of making some improvements to my cab...specifically thinking of mylar or panda film or whatever. as of now it is white painted metal...so I would get some approrpiate materials and cover the inside walls....reasons? (1) more reflective? (2) insulative to retain more heat in an otherwise cool environment (my garage).

So I found this reference - FOYLON - @ 95% reflective with excellent diffusion, very durable. MYLAR - @ 92- 95% reflective. FLAT WHITE PAINT - @ 80-90% reflective with excellent diffusion. PANDA FILM - @ 80 – 90% reflective and light tight.

Anyone have any opinions or should I just leave well enough alone?:roll:

Hey Man :)

Ya know, light propagates almost like a harmonic.

If you have a 20w bulb and put in a 30 watt bulb...you eye cannot tell the difference in the amount of available light. However, if you put in a 40watt.....Ding,ding,ding,ding......your eyes send the signal to your brain "more light". But now if you put in a 50 watt bulb you don't see the difference between the 40 ~ 50 but you will see the difference if it was a 60. You following?

Great, now if we apply this, to the 'reflectivity' specs and give it a moment to cook in our brain.... IMHO, I don't think you can not see the visible difference between 90% & 99%, shit maybe you can't see the difference between 80% to 95% _ but I'm not sure. Where you will see the visible difference is in the weight of your wallet. ROFL.:hump::hump:

Also, anytime you intentionally reflect light _ as in a mirror is an 'intentional' reflection as opposed to inherent reflectivity _ as in a white painted interior panel of a, ummmm grow box :lol:.....So when you intentionally reflect light you break it up into the spectrum, both visible and invisible and by doing so you actually defeat your purpose. We know this to be correct because, no body uses mirrors or similar because they found out that "it didn't work"

So, IMHO, a bright white _ whiteness is measured in units of brightness, with 98 being the brightest (that I am aware of)_durable paint is the answer - Achem's Razor, if you know what I mean :)

Now, if we could only get the uvB reflectivity spec from these manufacturers. :)
*Of course this is my opinion and I could be wrong:blsmoke:

Merry Christmas

another pioneer shows up with some food for thought. good read indeed. i used flat white because everyone said to but it seems as though i should have used a gloss.:-?

hey Hum...no worries...live and learn....good example of me trying to be the smart one...and turning pout to be the dumb one :roll: I expect I can salvage their budilicious progress........though I may have lost some time?

Yeah man, intertesting to see how much difference those extra 2 hours light make anyway. I guess people use 12/12 for a reason ;)

But anyway man, no harm done. They still look great, you just slowed them down a bit by the looks. Good luck and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :mrgreen:

I use black n white. Actually white, black n white is the one I use. This stuff costs the same as mylar but is very highly reflective... I believe they say 99-100% reflective.

It's strange because my two biggest plants were on the end (rather than in the middle) right next to (a few inches away) the plastic wall. Which means that these plants would have also caught the reflected light...

Masta, YGF, Skunk and SW......how co0ol a discussion is that! thanks a million for all the good feedback...there's a community here and nothing would of happened without any of us....so I think all around thanks is deserved.....cheers and happy hoildays.

The whole reflectivity and effectiveness discussion is interesting....the white and argument made make sense to me. And I can't really complain about my results with a....hmmm....white....grow box! :roll:....so far, any limitations that have been encountered by these plants is human caused!

I got my old olympus SLR camera out, it has a light meter. What I noticed is after I put the reflector stuff on the walls... there was more light...but what I noticed most was the light was stronger farther away...so I guess it would make even more difference if I had reflection on all four sides??

k k k k k k k ....I'm gonna have to tie this lady up.....she has become unruly, and some serious discipline is in order. I have been a negligent parent, allowing her to grow wild 'n all...and now its time to rein her in.....is it better to do it during the dark cycle or the light cycle...i don't expect it matters too much...I just thought I would ask.....thanks in advance for any thoughts coming forward.....
