Should i switch to aluminum foil?

[sk8bd117]

Well for my little grow room i put up wooden and cardboard walls, after painting them white. I'd have to say though that the white wood doesn't seem all too reflective, and the cardboard i think just came out terrible. I always see people who have foil reflection set up. I'm wondering if i should just cover my walls with it? Any thoughts?

Nah, too many hot spots.
Try mylar, it looks like foil in some pics.

Those emergency blankets, those are mylar too
and cheap compared to what you can get at the growShop.

The crinkles in the foil will create hot spots that can damage the plants. Use mylar or just go with with flat white the whole way around.

I am in favor of panda film myself (aka black and white film) as the poster above mentioned its 6ml thick, so it won't tear. its pretty easy to clean (by that, i mean really easy) its ok if while spraying you get some on it. and its 10 long, so if you buy lets say 4 feet of it, after its unfolded you will have a 4 x 10 foot section.
I have used now two 100 foot rolls of the stuff, and I won't at this time change to anything else.
