Hang on man that canopy should put all that in shade anyways I wouldn't waste time. Mylar on the walls is nice if you got 20 bucks for it

Those just got air stones in them? Dwc man is fastest I ever seen. Won't take half as long as others. Once my 5 gallon dwc plant drink whole bucket in a day the plant was 4ft around and 5gal wasn't enough that was in 4weeks or less.

Thing is what about when the plant is still small? That's also when it's most susceptible to pythium.

I wouldn't use mylar on the walls, flat white paint is a much better reflector according to the studies.

I hate painting....

I hate leaning my hand on a wall and having it slide out from under me.

Sometimes when training plants I have to lean in at awkward angles, I am sure other humans have experienced this. Leaning on a wall is the only way and if it's sliding out from under you then it's likely you can end up laying on your plants. lol

all the walls in the room are painted white was just wondering about the plastic bin but its true once they get bigger reflection wouldnt change nothing

If you want the bins warm then no, if you want them cooler then cover with panda film.
