White paint instead of mylar

i know youre supposed to use flat white paint instead, will primer work,like 2 coats or should i go out and buy a gallon of paint instead

dude you should go get the mylar...just cause it looks so cool...all space like and shiot

Not to mention its one the best and vital investments of a grow. Go for the mylar. 25$ for a decent sized 2m roll of mylar. Worth every penny friend.

seriously, just get the mylar youll be suprised.

so would $25 of mylar cove a 16 sq. foot area? what does 2m convert to in feet and inches?

personally I use mylar, have yet to check out the new diamond mylar though, but if not high gloss paint is the next best thing, with the added advantage that if you have a nute spillage, need to wipe down due to pests, or general cleaning then paint is better.

Plus there area no nooks and crannies in painted walls, whereas with mylar pests can hibernate in corners or even on the back side of the mylar against the wall.

when i said 2m i meant millimeters, the thickness. the 1m is too flimsy to work with. go on ebay and search and check the sizeof the rolls. pm me if you need anymore info =)

You could use white paint if you cant get Mylar. As long as your lighting is sufficient you wont have much of a problem.
