I would stay away from mirrors as they tend to reflect in the wrong way and create hot spots...
what you are after is a textured surface to evenly distribute (diffuse) the light over the plants, hence why you see lots of reflective material that is slightly textured. White reflective plastic film (B&W) works fine too..
Has anyone tried Chrome Painting Walls and floors?
Or would this be toxic to plants and humans?

Hey I'm new here. Long time smoker, brand new grower. Lots of useful info on this forum . Thanks for all the good advise. Quick question. For a reflective wall surface in my grow room, can i use mirrors?
Hmm interesting.hello. i'm new here but i came across i question i could answer so i jumped in....
Reflectix is what i use. available at any home improvement store. i've been recommending it ever since i discovered it...it's cheap, rigid but pliable, reflective, insulating, can be cut w/scissors, etc. i have never used foil or mylar but reflectix would be a definite upgrade over either of those. plus i've heard that mylar is hard to keep clean. and loses its reflectivity if it gets wet. also reflectix has a textured surface, which gives you much higher, better reflectivity and eradicates hot spots.
I've got a big stainless steel insulated box. based on Thermal & Solar Reflectance of Stainless Steel article, I think I would be in great shape to use it...
I use a few sheets of black and white Tyvek house wrap to hang in the tent to tighten the light footprint.
Its breathable 98% light proof and durable folds up small and is a only a few percentages less reflective then Mylar
mirrors are surprising not as reflective as you would think--they don't reflect light in particular very well, plus they create hot spots.

Well i would love to see a grow journal on it beforw i ever bought such a material.actually i did not say it was better than "all the rest"...said it was better than mylar or foil. no need for pics on that claim...the fact that it is textured means automatically/necessarily it will be more reflective than any non-textured surface (or so i'm given to understand if i understand 'textured' and 'reflectivity' correctly.)
