Me like many others love a good stealth grow and for years ive been doing many of the usual things like carbon filers, grow tents, fan silencers, whisper fans, fan controllers, inline, exhaust, oscillating fans, ozone generators, panda/builders plastic and many many other things. from the impractical to the frivolous.
Most recently since upgrading my setup I've found it's becoming more difficult to keep it %100 stealth. Like a very small deep hum or a slight whiff every so often.
Decided to buy some of these insulation batts to line and cover parts of my room. The results where immediate.
They literally got rid of any sound escaping my area along with a more stable temperature. No smells escaping either.
The foil backing allows me to cut it to size and sticky tape it to anywhere. It also works really well at insulating tents.
I got 17kg of R3.5 for $35. The cheapest stealth investment I've made and probably one of the best in donkey's years.
Hey Metal, Be REALLY careful with that "earthwool" I've been hearing some nasty rumours about the long term effects of the fibres on the lungs. If you want to go with something similiar I'd suggest a foil faced sheathing board, it a polyisocyanurate foam insulation wrapped in heavy silver foil, easy to cut easy to assemble plus 1" give you R6 plus the value of the foil. A little more expensive but much safer because it doesn't outgas, is fire retardent and a much better insulator.
