Reflective Mylar

[Flower]

Anyone ever give this a try?
I realize it would be expensive to line a room with, but it’s a high visibility, reflective mylar.

I use nothing but Flat White Paint. Hated Mylar but to each his own.

Both work. What didn't you like about the mylar Hopper?

Flat white paint for the win

That and a pain in the ass to get smooth and keep clean.

I am starting to think Weedhopper had a traumatic experience as a child that involved Mylar, lol.

Anyway, I get this stuff for free. I also have a bunch of 1/8” thick 3’x4’ white vinyl panels that I was thinking about lining the room with ( I can get all I want of those for free as well) , or I can cover the panels with Mylar before I staple them to the wall.
The first pic shows a side by side comparison of the scan back and shiny silver Mylar.
There is around 500 feet of material on the roll of scan back, and it is 8 inches wide.
The 2nd pic is the scan back outside in the sun.
The 3rd pic is a piece of scan back stuck on top of the shiny silver Mylar in my temporary veg closet.

Hey don't bring up dark shit I was trying to forget.

I'm thinking you may want to figure out why your plant looks so unhappy before I got busy lining the tent with 8" strips...white paint works so much better and it's far easier...

They were repotted about 15 minutes before I took the picture.

I bought mylar emergency blankets from ebay, 12 pack for dirt cheap. My room is 4x8x7 stick framing so I just put a square of aluminum duct tape everywhere I staple them so they don't rip. They are thhiiiiiiinnnnn!
The only drawback is they are not completely light-blocking so I had to put a tarp over the tent to block out all light

I used the same stuff to cover my, ahem, flat white walls. I really liked it until I read this thread and learned my existing white walls would have been just as effective.

I agree. I watched a test from MIGRO on YouTube on white walls vs. Mylar using a par meter. Had I seen that video prior I would of just painted white because it would if been a lot less hassle. I have a layer of fiberglass sheet up as well so it would I've been just as easy to paint them white spray can, probably would have blocked off a lot more light

At least the stuff was cheap.
