I am I the process of setting up a grow room for veg I have almost completed panda film and I am trying to come up with the most efficient floor plan. All input appreciated. Will post more soon thanks
20’ x 20’ veg room?20'x20' panda is done. Already have lights, pots, irrigation and ventilation equipment. Just coming up with floor plan. Thanks for all the good input so quick.
Thanks for the heads up will keep check on temp. The room seems to be cooler after the panda, but I will keep check thanks again.I wish you well
My experience with Panda was not fond
It creates to much heat for the reflective value for my area
Panda film itself doesn't generate any heat. It bounces back about 95% of the light that hits it so you get the most out of your light but that won't make things warmer. I would have preferred using panda film on the walls in my grow room but they are OSB over concrete underground and cooler than the warm moist air in there so moisture would get trapped behind the film and mould would grow for sure under it. Had to paint that corner instead but after 20 years growing in there I finally got it done last week. Just the corner where the plants sit tho and the rest of the room will get done when I finally decide to sell this place and clear the room out.Thanks for the heads up will keep check on temp.

I'm was going to use the black side to block out light on my windows. Should I install it white side facing outside instead?Panda film itself doesn't generate any heat.

So much whiter than the old paint but those strips from removing the shelving that was in there when I bought the place took 10 coats to cover and I can still make them out dammit!

If the sun hit those windows then you'd want the white side out for sure unless it's winter and the room could use the extra heat. Won't look strange to your neighbours if you cover the windows like that will it?I'm was going to use the black side to block out light on my windows.

Alright cool thanks & no i don't think so I have pulldown shades over the window already, so the film shouldn't be visible. The film will be a second layer to block the edges the shades don't currently cover. You just can't get a perfect blackout shade that fits the window flush & also looks nice.If the sun hit those windows then you'd want the white side out for sure unless it's winter and the room could use the extra heat.
