Reflection!

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!

If its latex paint it'll be fine

basically anything flat white works, ive used a flatwhite cardboard, worked very nice for a temp job, much better reflectivity than foil.

An emergency blanket from a dollar store is cheaper, and better, than aluminum foil.

Thanks for the tips!

So any type of paint, other than latex, would be harmful to the plant?

No, the plant will be fine, just try to keep the area ventilated like you should do anyways when painting. Open a window or door, run a fan or two and you'll be just fine.

sweetness! thanks yous
