Schizm 240,

I have to call bullshit on your foil creates hotspots line.

How can foil which is less reflective than other materials cause a hot spot if a more reflective material does not?

Don’t tell me it is because of wrinkles, because even on a flat surface there will be sweet spots that receive, and reflect light directly onto the plant.

This is nothing more than another “urban legend”

Actually, its really nothing about the wrinkles, however if you for some reason would choose to use the tin foil, it should be wrinkle-free. If you get a light meter and observe tin foil vs. other reflective materials, you will find what happens with tin foil is it lets off too much heat and no good light spectrum. Tin foil actually absorbs the light that the plant uses and gives off the heat. Therefore, the light reflecting is not what your plant wants and burns unevenly, regaurdless of wrinkles, rips or tears. Any more questions? :weed:
