My ph is always within spec
I have a question....it's said that inside a grow room not to use foil because of wrinkles creating hot spots...but inside of grow tent they all look wrinkled and kinda crapy....with that being said could I use something like this on my walls...I can paint but time is money to me and I can just staple this stuff on...no smell no nothing....
If you've heard wrinkles cause hot spots... Just make sure it's not wrinkled. Should be fine and I've seen plenty of foiled walls in grow rooms.

Just didn't know if this had better reflective action
It should be just fine, it looks exactly like the reflective surface on tents.

That will work perfectly another thing that works well is white construction paper for the large sheets from Walmart

Had a couple of runs in a cheapo box i built out of an old kitchen cabinet lined with foil. No problems, even when it started wrinkling. It's better to use the dull side rather than the shiny side, burn spots are less likely. (Cooking aluminium foil). Have also used space blankets (shiny 1st aid kind you buy at the pharmacy). Sb's are more flexible & larger than cooking foil, but wrinkles easily. Personally, no problems either way.

Cool just figuring out best budget route...that stuff is like $40 might take couple rolls...flat white paint is $14 gallon...foil cheap as hell...Mylar $20-30 maybe need couple rolls
Go on ebay and buy yourself a dozen mylar emergency/space blankets. They are like $1 each including shipping. They are usually 84" x 52" which is 7' x just over 4' in size. So a dozen will cover a pretty good sized area. Not sure the size of your grow room but these blankets are inexpensive.

I'll look into that thanx
The mylar blankets will do the job. However, they are very thin and will not be as easy to work with or as durable as the Reflectix insulation. But the mylar will work and it will be pretty economical.

Did you put those clones directly into soil? Or did you start them some other way and then move them to soil?

now that those two have survived have the water clones have any kind of roots on them at all if they do you can throw them in a cup of soil just like that and they will very quickly
