Yoyo!

Im a broke, newb, closet grower and I need some better reflection! Right now I am using plain old aluminum foil, which I know isnt the best thing to use (im broke!) but I just found a can of straight up, flat, white paint. So I want to get rid of the foil and use the paint instead but I want to know if the fumes from the paint will harm the plant in any sort of way? Right now my plant is in its first week of flowering and everything is going great. There is plenty of ventilation in the space so I know the fumes wouldnt be trapped in there... would it be ok to paint?

Thank you for ur time! :-)

yeah just paint as soon as possible before your buds start growing. the fumes won't hurt the plants. never ever, ever ever ever, use aluminium foil again lol

Ok... Im bummed because the flat-white-paint I thought I had ended up having Egg Shell White mixed into it. So that bummed me out. But I did find a gal of Flat White Primer.... Would primer work ok?

the white paint I thought I had ended up being an egg shell/cream color... Im planning on using a flat white primer, Brand: Zinsser, Kind: "Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Interior & Exterior Primer 'For all surfaces'"
The ingredients say its an Acrylic base.
