Hey gypsy what are you thoughts on using aluminum foil as a reflective surface to cover walls with?

Well.. my thoughts are that aluminum foil absorbs heat... unlike mylar...

Also, if there is even a single crease on the foil, you run the risk of a distortion in the reflection, which could focus the light and create a hot spot...

So I would not use aluminum foil...

I am actually a big fan of flat white paint... although I do have some mylar based plastic insulation in the op...

Hope that helps...;-):lol:

In any event, while all this riveting dialogue was taking place, I found myself getting some work (shudder) done.

Got the third table in place and the light suspended above it.

I ended up putting 40 clones in this table. I had more to give, but it was getting crowded up in here.

Now I'm faced with all these soil plants, 5 weeks into 12/12 with no lamp to go under. I could chop them now and make hash or cookies, but i might have to figure something else out. I'd hate for what could potentially be 5-6 ounces to be wasted. A little sadder I think than turkey lurkeys tragic loss.

The church is such a looker, keeping that contrast of white and deep orange pistils until late in flowering.


Heres the jars i'm smoking out of today.
Arjan's ultra haze #1


White Rhino



And of course, the church.




Thats right, freaky frog.

dude... I'm here defending you...

Working a different angle.. trying to get you in to the club... but you just don;t get it...

SZ is not going to be impressed by a WOULD BE 5 GRAM nug...:lol:

I am not even sure he is going to laugh at you ...

I know I am...

You are great dude... a real sport...

I really hope you find what you are looking for...

Well, I guess without explaining the circumstances I do look like weaksauce.

But just so you know the scoop, I was given that plant when it was about an inch tall in full on flowering, not just preflowers...

I'm pretty proud that I was able to turn it into the size of nug that I did.

My friend had two of them, he kept one and gave one to me they were little 12/12 test babies under 1 26w cfl, so they were runts... his only had like 6 budsites on the entire thing in the end and mine was that colossal nug and it wasnt even done.


I don't mind looking like a fool right now, because I know this next time around I'm going to do it right from the get go.


I have been contemplating buying a HID setup but I haven't really done my research, but I know that I want to use some kind of cool tube or glass so my plants can grow as high as they want, was probably going to get whatever from HTG.

Are there any other *reputable* vendors out there selling solid HID setups cheaper than HTG? preferrable with mh/hps conversion combos?

Thanks dude I totally agree with you 100%. There is just another member to this site who is so in love with aluminum foil it is scary. I was arguing with him in another thread because he was saying that alumium foil is 97% reflective and that its better than mylar. I asked him and his buddy to get me a link to a decent grow that used foil on the walls... They haven't gotten back to me hahah :blsmoke:

SZ WAIT...:lol:

Lurk...

I am really happy with the 2 600s I have from HTG...

They are cool to the touch, and the costumer service at HTG was bang on!!!

I think you get a 600 digi w/ a cool tub from them for under $250 + S&H

I have a feeling I might be jealous of your nugs.. in the future... you have an enourmous potential... even difficult as you try to be sometimes...:lol:

We will all be here... growing dank...

And you are welcome at my place anytime...

ESPECIALLY with your newfound attitude...

I believe we may ALL still come to think of you as a Weed Baron...:lol:
(where's Bugs when you need him...:lol:)

Just hang on... you'll get what you want...:clap::clap:
