Ive been growing 4 plants for the last 2 months. For my grow room im using an old XL size dog crate and i have cardboard mounted to each side of the crate so it creates a nice grow box. on the inside i have the walls covered with reflective tape and then of course all of my lights, fans, etc. during the day the temp never gets over 85 and at night it may get down to 75. this is my first grow and im pretty much a "newb" when it comes to growing and my friend recently told me he heard using cardboard was a terrible idea. so can anyone give me advice? whats the bad thing about using cardboard?

just get some 3/8" - 1/2" plywood at Home Depot and make it legit. Build it on top of the dog house if you want haha. Will be easier to hold fans/lights and such...

Carbohydrates are good in the flowering stage, i personally use AN Carboload during the whole flowering period.
