you can if you want but it does create hot spots and can burn up your plants mylar works beteer but you can just paint the walls flat white almost as reflective as my lar i tried both and it seems when i added mylar my temps went up quite a bit

highly recommend mylar.. a cheap and easy buy that almost cheaper than foil.. go to your local wally world or any store with a camping section and buy those emergency blankets.. they work great.. best of luck with which ever method you go with..

panda wrap works great and easy to clean if you have a male mishap i also use it as a pan for my 2nd story grow room

Flat white paint, panda film, mylar, in order of cheapness. (panda film, white on 1 said and black on other.

hot spots LOL!

Yeah sure, its *possible* The crinkle in the foil creating a lens that has the focal point perfecting on the leaf. Yup possible. (not to mention most alum foil guys are using CLFs, not enough intensity by the time the light gets back to the plant.)

No wrinkles, no 1 in a million chance of hot spots.

Mylar is *clear* It made shinny/reflective by guess what? *aluminum*

Just go flat bright white paint. Easy, cheap, and works just peachy.
