No "bigbox" hardware stores are gonna carry that stuff as you've already found out. I found a distributor who specialized in plastic rolls/plastic bags/etc. They had rolls of mylar. No need to "order" over the internet, but you can always "look" for distributors locally, call them, and then drive over.

BTW...many people refrain from using mylar because it causes "hotspots". I use white,white, white (is that a color? :mrgreen:) paint.

hahaha you did all that driving around for nothing....


guess what? take your ass to walmart or family dollar and goto the wrapping section (you may have already been too late, as the xmas season is over) but family dollar has some wrapping paper or some shit and its called polywrap mylar i think.... that works as a substitute. and its dirt fucking cheap.... i grabbed like 10 rolls, the cashier looked at me crazy!

or you could do what was previously mentioned and just paint it flat white. nice reflection from white paint too!

or you could just order it from an hydro shop.


fyi and future reference.... most of the stuff that you are going to want isnt going to be in a regular nursery or a local garden shop. unless its shit like perlite, soil and what not....

I got the impression that MYlar is the best thing to use....as this will be my first grow, I wanted to at least start my grow using proven methods and equipment....and give my plants every advantage to survive My complete lack of experience.

they WALMART HOME DEPOT ETC...also have bubblewrap coated in mylar sold as insulation, a little more but works as a heat shield too.

I did see that at Home Depot today...but I thought It best not to be insulating (keeping the heat) in my grow closet!!!!

No Gnome Grown...it's mylar too if it isn't stretched tight. (BTW....I've been a HVAC Master for 22 years if that is a qualification here.

Flat white paint works just as well and will save you the trouble of running all over the place looking for mylar if it isn't readily available.

LMAO blank retard stare. yea, most employees at walmart are just fucking retards anyways.
Youd think I'd asked them to to recite "Halbert's cause and effect of universal black holes".....I think to my self, Look dude I'm a customer asking you where something is...If you don't know...you should at least know who to ask..maybe a supervisor....but nooooo...What do I get...THE ALL TOO COMMON BLANK RETARDED STARE!!!
