Im trying to DIY a micro grow box 2'x1'X1' on a cheap budget and mylar is not in my price range at the moment. Here are a few thoughts and questions on reflective materials:
1. I've heard that foil is a big no-no in the grow community because of hot spots.
What about the shiny side of xmas wrap? That stuff seems pretty reflective?
2. What are your thoughts on using the windscreen sunshade reflector type stuff?
3. If I decide to go with paint, which Im leaning toward, does it have to be a particular type? I found some low sheen acrylic white paint, will that work?
4. Any entirely different but budget friendly ideas?
