I need/want to paint my grow room flat white. If I paint while the plants are in same room will it hurt them?? Also I been lighting a propane camping grill for bout an hour a day for co2, is that enough or should I let it burn longer?

Cut out that $hit with the grill... Seriously, stop it.
You could die from either CO2 or Monoxide poisoning... and to be honest, as long as you provide good air exchange then you don't really need CO2. It will help, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying you will still get the bud you desire without it.

I wouldn't paint with the plants in the room for many reasons... the major one being that you could clog the stomata of the plant and then you'd be suffocating her.

well you should of had all this done before you germ'd a seed. and how big is the space? because the camping grill isnt going to put of massive amounts of co2. Also i would not worry about co2 if its your first grow unless you have everything going great and want to experiment but it sounds like your getting ahead of yourself already.

i think you should do a baking soda co2 system its alot safer if your set on it.

Well I am kind of getting ahead of myself, I can tell myself. I had originally planned on putting poly film up but after spending so much money on lighting, dehumidifier, ph meter, and alot of stuff I didn't know I needed when I started it well I kind of started running short on money. I set out looking for poly film this morning at lowes, garden place, and Home Depot but when I couldn't buy it I bought some flat white paint with sum fungicide. And the room is prolly bout 12x12. And I was only expermiting with the co2 grill thing. I have ventilation coming in but none going out yet. I plan on it but gotta wait till next payday. I'm still managing keeping the temp around 72/75 degrees.

all that money spend, and then you stop before you use the last 20 bucks on some maylor or a 10`r on a emergency planked/car window ice cover

acording to my light meter maylor is like 2-3x as reflective as flat white ..

Stop growing, find a new hobby before you kill yourself.

a 12x12 grow room is very expensive. there no rush the room isnt going to go anywhere. your plants will be ok for a week or two without mylar, just wait till you can get some or some black/white poly and put it up.

No, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize how bad of an idea it is to use propane to generate c02. Especially with the power of google. Propane puts off carbon monoxide, not something you want to be breathing. That is if you want to stay alive. I've read some terrible ideas on this website but that one takes the cake.

That's what I did was google, in fact that's how I came up wit the ideal. But u the propane is gone, I didn't know but now I do. I'm gonna quit growing cuz I didn't know something. Will it hurt to have venal toon coming in but none going out until the start flowering?
