ahh ok thank u il go get sum mylar next time im at the hydro store :D
For sure the best way to go bro. Like Matt said though, if you don't have the funds, the foil is better than nothing. But if you got a few extra bucks, I think its worth it to get some mylar :)!

yea il have to wait till i get some funds lol but il get some soon :D
just grab up a can of paint it is THE most efficient and easiest way to get a good reflective room, use a FLAT white tho not glossy.

i think you gain maybe 5-10% more reflection from mylar. white paint being like 80-90% and mylar being 90-98% so depending on how well you coat the paint and the type of paint you use you may only be missing out on a mere 5% reflection wich in my opinion is not worth spending that extra $$$

but yeah if you have the loot then mylar all the way :)

to be honest i would be willing to bet with the proper lighting it dosent even make a huge difference. i mean think about it, you spend all this time covering the grow area and then put a bunch of plants next to each other anyways so they are blocking the light regardless of how reflective your walls are :) :)

Lame update, but here it goes. Cloned 5/6 of the girls. My sativa kush doesn't interest me enough to grow again, so she was left out. Hopefully I did everything right and they root quickly!! It was tough to find viable clone locations because everything on my plant is a top and I didn't want to lose any of my hard earned tops:( . I ended up cutting clones that were crowding others and told them it was for the greater good! Should be terrifying to go down in the am and find them all limped over :(!!! Sorry for the.half ass pics. Not much to see though.

update:

Just thought I'd throw a few pics of the girls all perked up!!! Just a seas of tops in there!!! I love it. My clones survived the night anyway :). They are hardly limping either......yet! I've narrowed down the12/12 flip to either tonight or tomorrow!

Nice, I took exactly three clones as well.. yours look nice man!

Plants are looking good too! Except that little one in the cup.. but understandable probably rootbound and looks to be lacking in nitrogen.. but the big girls look awesome.

How have things be going with the nutrient additions?

I actually took 5 clones, hard to tell from my picture angle! Hope they all pull through. Yup, Yup, the women are begging me for the hps!!! They are sitting at about 13 inches tall right now! Except for bb#4 sitting in its solo cup,lol. It's been almost two months in that cup with no nutes and little to no attention, as I thought it would just die by now. I'm sure its rootbound, but still growing though, surprisingly! It still hasn't showed any sex either. The last feeding the girls for was full strength(per foxfarm feeding chart) and I have seen no adverse effects! Next feeding ill introduce the tiger bloom as well!!

I dont add bloom nutes till they start throwing hairs, I do err on the side of conservative though!
Thanks bro. All the girls have been able to handle everything I throw at them so far. I already gave them a shot of big bloom which I'm assuming is a bloom nute, they took it up fine. Fox farm schedule said to start the tiger bloom the first week of flower. Thanks again for.stopping by!
