I was bored today so i decided to make a new reflector =D. Anyways, all the materials you can find at home (nothing special).

- 1x big water bottle (the one that goes into the water tank)
- aluminum tin foil
- knife
- tape

I know a stoner can come up with something better then that...

like i said, the materials i used can be easily found at home. But, if you wanted to make a more "effective" reflector, you can replace the tin foil with whatever is better (mylar, white paint, etc). Not gonna lie though, i think my reflector is pretty awesome. =D

minus the fact that the tin foil will create hot spots and burn and possibly kill your plants ... ITS AWESOME

i made a foil reflector my first time. Not sure if it worked... I just use flat white paint now. Not the best but it's clean and doesnt get dirty so fast. The second guys reflector was tight, i wanna know what the shiny surface was made of.

thanks buddy =D it was mylar, yes it looks like tin foil but thats only because of how many lights there are and the spray adhesive under it started to like... come undone/make the mylar bubble.
