IMG_2069.jpgIMG_2068.jpgi am not an indoor grower but seems like this is not the best time to veg anything without the sun...so i decided to make a grow room just till summer. its my semi-indoor curtain style grow room, since i still wanted to use natures resources and dont want to spend an arm and a leg for electric bills using 1x150w MH and 1x250w MH, i will just open the curtain to get natural light till night time comes i will close the curtain and give them 3-5 hours of light till summer. i decided to leave a few inches on top for ventilation and place a fan inside. so what do you guys think of this set-up?

mylar is reflective silver foil which help lights to rebound off it meaning your plants get better light i would say that this set up is a start in the right direction is that window over looked by anything or anyone ? if so is not light proof and would be worryed about security from the the pictures it looks like an old hospital wing of a prison just my opinon.

no the other building beside it is abandoned...its my warehouse were no one is actually living on it. and yes there is a window since i am only giving them light 30mins prior to sun down. i just had the wall painted white but i have mylar on my floor...i have 2 more 50 mtr rolls of mylar which i can stick it on the wall. is it better if i put mylar than paint the wall white?

Depends on how much titanium dioxide is in your white paint. Pure white reflects the entire visible light spectrum which is 400 to 750 nanometers. You can buy inexpensive industrial grade titanium dioxide to add to your paint making it more reflective. If humidity, mold and mildew are issues, you can add a little inexpensive zinc oxide powder to your paint, its a natural mildewcide. You might look for a resin at the paint supplier and add a little to compensate for the additional solids.

I would love to get some seeds from that strain, it looks beautiful. I'm disappointed I didn't look when I was in the Philippines, I was too busy checking out all the babes and seeing the sites. I really like kawasan falls in Cebu, and Taal volcano in Luzon. The climate here is humid as hell in the summer; stand on the porch at 8 am and in 5 minutes you're sweating your ass off. If you have paypal I can help with the shipping. Maybe send them to my wife in LA, and she can send them to me here in elvis land :) Dude, have you heard Arnel Pineda? Lead singer of Journey now, he used to have a band called the zoo that played at brads bistro in olongapo city. He's one of the best vocalists in the world!

i bet you have been to more places than i do here, i only have been here for a year and only have been to places outside the city over at least a few hours drive thats as far as i have been too. you mean the humid on where you are is too humid? i got a whopping 90++% humidity going on here right now. i feel sticky going out of my shell. on summer right after drying myself taking a bath right on the spot you will be sweating. yeah sure bro i will be glad to send it to you. im only an hour drive to olongapo city i think i have been there once, im still getting to know the city itself and i dont have anyone to take me to places. about the painting, i have been drying my wall for a few days now, its been raining for the past days so i guess i would just cut more of that maylar, i was hesitating to put my plants since there is a bit paint smell that i dont want my plants to have an abnormal effect. yeah ill send you the seed bro, its alright its cheap sending mail here. im just having all the seeds collected.
