What is the best reflective surface? White panda film, flat white paint (any specifics), gloss white paint, black pain, reflective dimple foam insulation board, dull sheen aluminum reflective board... ? Does it matter or can it depend on Veg or Bloom stages?

Just looking for some finer details information.

Thanks.

When I was building my room I needed some insulation as it's a cold cellar so I insulated the inside wall, then used 3/4" styrofoam sheets with this reflective layer on one side, flipped so the reflective surface was facing out. It's held up well and is almost a mirror reflection, whole room including the ceiling is covered with it.

They're $13 for a 4x8' sheet at Home Depot, probably $10/sheet in the US.

I like the panda, as long as you can put it up will minimal seams. Very easy to clean. I used a jug of wood glue, a large paint brush, and a staple gun. A second pair of hands also helps.
