hi,

purchased 5 meters of mylar that should be arriving soon.

it said it was >95% reflective! true?

anyway, currently 3 out of my four walls are covered with the remains of my grow tent, don't know the name of material. and the other one is covered in foil, i know.....

by covering all my walls in mylar will i see a significant difference?

will i be making the most of my light?

thanks

it will def make the most out of your light but as to the actual benefit i have no idea. i haven't done a grow without it.

Mylar is the best way to go hands down. It will maximize your lumens and make sure that none of your light is wasted on walls (even if they are white) or other surface areas. 5 meters wont be much, unless your working in small box like I am, but it will help even if your just putting it dirrectly around your plant so anything that would have hit wall will bounce back. I currently have my entire box, head to toe, covered in the stuff. Its like a giant bubble mirror.

It works pretty well to help get some of the reflected light to the sides of the plants. Like rooter said, gettin the most out of ur lights
