Hey, Im doing my first grow. Its a CFL stealth grow and im stacking two blue rubbermaid containers on top of each other. My question is what should i do to the inside to increase reflectivity? Should i paint it white? or put up emergency blankets or what? Any suggestions.

Ok so i painted the inside white. I thought i put it on pretty thick but whole box lights up, its pretty darn obvious that there is a ton of lights in there. Ill do a solver or white plastic lining if i have to, any suggestions?

what about painting the outside black in order to not show some the light shinin through.

Check out my grow in my signature. I painted mine white on the inside and black on the outside. It works great. No light comes through at all. Took 4 cans of Krylon Fusion on the outside to make it light proof but it works. By the way I do recommend the Krylon Fusion for plastic. It works great! Good luck with your grow!:blsmoke:
