Get a roll of Mylar off eaby.
Its like £8 for a 10m Roll.
When I ordered they sent me like 2 extra 10m rolls (accidentally I assume, I wasn't charged)

if your gonna go cheap use paint, if you want quality get the diamond pattern mylar, the normal stuff is a waste of money and not up to the job

correction, flat white paint works better than standard mylar, if you want mylar only buy the diamond type

The normal stuff works fine.
Just make sure you hang it nice a flat.

the normal stuff is cheap, flimsy, stretchy and creases far too easily, normal mylar creates more hotspots than any other reflective material, it just doesn't produce an even surface for light distribution, it may look fine to you hanging up, but its not "working just fine"

Lol, ok expert, but just for the record, ton of OTHER GROWER (including myself) have harvested a shit ton of weed using Normal Mylar.
Mylar doesn't create 'hot spots', thats a myth about Silver foil (not even about mylar, sorry), but even that is not true.

mylar gives you extra light reflection but is not that major a factor in how big / good your bud is now lumen's and nutes should be what your putting £ into, i've used everything from shiny wrapping paper to diamond mylar theres little difference.

i don't doubt you have harvested plants, that is not the question, the question is about cheap reflective material for this guys grow,
mylar on paper is slightly more reflective than flat white paint but because it stretches so easily and creases so easily it does create hot spots because of intensity reflected back by the creases, it is not distributing light efficiently,
so if your looking for cheap then go with flat white paint and forget the mylar because its not worth it, if you want mylar spend a little extra and get the diamond type mylar.

sorry mate you dont make sense.
were the words i used to big for you, should i try and stick to words of no more than 6 letters
cheap mylar no good, bad to reflect light
flat white paint is ok

wtf?!
just because it has creases in it, u think it causes hot spots?! tell me how please, its the same material!!!!!!!!!!!

because the diamond mylar is thicker better quality and has the diamond patter to create better light distribution.
if something is concave or convex then the reflection will be altered and that is scientifically proven.
I don't have time to give you lessons though son, i don't give two shits if you carry on believing what you do now or if you bother to do any research on anything and actually learn something instead of being ignorant
