It would be interesting to see an actual comparison of the two. I have flat white as well as silver bubble wrap and a removable Mylar panel. The Mylar panel is, it seems, the most reflective.

The comparison was nowhere close, as I recall. White paint is over rated for reflection. Light can pass right through paint ya know. Then it's just wood after that, or whatever's behind the paint. Like if you put paint on glass it doesn't stop it much at all. Maybe a bunch of layers but not 1 or 2. Same with mylar actually, but not as bad.
You know those mylar windshield screens to keep the car from heating up? Well I put one in front of a chamber where light came out at the bottom and I can see light blasting through the mylar and the foam. It ain't like foil, where no light gets through. Maybe foil and then mylar on top the foil would work well. BTW, if you ever wanna look at a COB or other LED while it's on, two layers of emergency blanket makes a nice thing to look at them through and not go blind.

Well like I said, I'm picky lol. The oh zone was liked by most that tried it but nope not by me lol. The most consistent and good well known so far has been, for me, White Russian but I find it a tad speedy and it stretches like a mofo. Also it was not available for a year so I moved on. I smoked some master kush last month that was nice but not sure who the breeder was. I am curious about this OG though so I'll keep watching.

Actually flat white paint is about as good. Mylar is better but not much.
Flat white paint is cheap and easy to reapply.
If I remember correct its like a 5-10% difference.

You can do some searches on it. It has to be flat white paint.
Ed Rosenthal state 90% for mylar, 85% for flat white and around 70% for foil.
That's the figures I remember from most articles and test.
Figuring that paint is the cheapest is why I use it.

You can get a gallon of flat white at Wal-Mart for 10 bucks.

FWIW: ceiling bright white is a tad "whiter"

Flat white reflects better I believe

yes, most ceiling paints are flat so light is scattered and formulation is different so they are brighter

From seed? If yes, Who/where did you buy them? I’m about to power up the shed for the winter grow.
what do you mean compact? Shorter plants? If that is what you are asking, then there is no breeder that specializes in "compact" genetics. Pretty much every breeder will have some strains that are compact, but they will have strains that are tall and lanky as well.
