I have 2 spare bedrooms in which to set up a grow...my first so take it easy on me if I ask stupid questions...both bedrooms are roughly 14' square...is it necessary to cover the walls with mylar or will everything be fine with the current color which is flat white? I'm planning on starting out with 4 DWC buckets and can locate them anywhere in the room, so will it matter where? Does a corner make any more sense then the middle of the room?

Flat white is fine but you do get better reflection of mylar and its not by a whole lot.

I'd panda film it like my setup seals room traps in moisture from getting to walls reflects well easy to clean you can spray it down it just works well its like 1.25 a foot and 10 feet wide...Mylar, like a mirror focuses points of light while flat white reflects evenly, thus more efficient at bouncing usable light around the whole space... I use moveable cardboard /w mylar on it to trap the light in...like thisView attachment 2590365the one on the verry right is reflective bubble wrap i really like it breaks up light nicely.....heres the roomView attachment 2590373View attachment 2590374View attachment 2590375 some patch workView attachment 2590378 i imagine the humidity will fuck up your walls and prob mold imo..the floor i just laid for the second time over the old one but the walls and celing have deen on for 4 years so its easy to maintain...i want to say i paid 80 bucks for the roll might be 60... if any Q's hit me up OFTR.....slicklike
