nothing beats mylar, i just like that clean shine it puts off, its like looking at a room full of diamonds to me. Cant be beat- but for simple efficiency- a lot of things cheaper work.

But the same can be said for the price of getting high, and I chose dank.

you need to germinate them before dropping them into soil. the best and easiest method is to :

1. get some damp paper towels and fold them over.
2. put seeds in them
3. close in a zip lock bag.
4. store in a dark warm place (i usually use my router)
5. blow some air in the ziplock.
6. check on them every day to see if they sprouted

once they do drop them into some soil. make sure you invest in some good lights. without good lights your crop will be crap. good luck.

I know what you're getting at with the mylar, but my thinking was like honkeytown's; I figure if I lay it out nice and smooth, with little-to-no kinks or wrinkles, I should be alright. I'll keep you posted...


yeah bro try to get some mylar still if not just eat up alot of big bags of doritos or something and make it the ghetto way. just cut them open so only the inside shows, wash em off, and tape em up together lol. works really good anyways. aluminum foil on the other hand will reflect ur light but will make hot spots and its not spread evenly. it rather stays in spots from ur lights and can burn the plant. so i wouldnt even recommend putting it up at all

Thanks Closet Grow. I'm familliar with the process, but why do you feel this is superior to planting the seeds straight to soil? Just wondering...

Thanks honkey, you confirmed my suspicion that aluminum foil, if applied smoothly, can be just as effective as mylar or any reflective material...

:bigjoint:

Here are my four little packages of love...:mrgreen: They are all I've got, so I need them to grow...

Question: Should I water them with filtered Brita water or straight tap water???? Anyone care to weigh in on this??? :blsmoke:

not as effective but damn close. mylar is also used to make space blankets...emergency blankets...i used one for a while when I first started growing...but I had a four foot fluoro housing leaned against it and it melted...so...if you plan on having any kind of heat near it dont...
