Tinfoil during vegging.

Yes /No? Just curious.

No

Creates hot spots

Paint your walls white, buy some mylar or poly

yes you can use it but its not the best, just make sure you have great ventilation.

Thanks

Has anyone actually seen a hot spot or is it all hear say? I may quite possibly be the shittiest grower here, but I did take a lot of physics classes, and it just doesn't make sense. In order for the light to be get concentrated, there needs to be a smooth, uniformly CURVED piece of aluminum foil to form a focus point. Unless you're trying to, I don't see how you could. Not to mention, the aluminum foil will not be reflecting the main source of light, instead it reflects the radiant light back towards the plant.

I dunno though. I've thought about it long and hard, and I keep arriving at this conclusion.

^^ You might be right man I'm just saying what I've heard on this site from other growers

ive heard that cfls dont get quite hot enough for that kind of thing, anyhow.

i still use flat white paint, its easy, clean, and if you have to clear out right quick
youre dont need to explain tin foil walls.

just my view

Good point catfish.

Hank.

there are better things to use but if you do use it - use the dull side.
