That stuff causes hotspots, its not 100% reflective. For such a small space I'd consider some mylar.

 

[dj_ilum]

yeah i know. mylar would be great if i had it right now, but i dont have it and theres no money to buy it
maybe later on i can buy it

 

[moses224]

Maybe im not seeing whole pic but what are you using for lighting?

 

[VaporBros]

dj, im right here with you. I just gutted my PC and lined the inside with foil (wish i had mylar) How are you going to mount the lights? Thats my next task

 

[dj_ilum]

well vaporbros
i was thinking about a extesion cord with 6 light bulbs one of those energy safe
i have three already, but each one has a diferent shape. and then i have to buy one of those light bulbs adapters

Before you think about that, you need to think about ventilation. I don't see any intakes or exhaust in your box. You don't wait to go throwing a few light bulbs in there with no way to cool them or provide fresh air for your plants otherwise you're just building a little E-Z-Bake Oven and not a PC Grow Box.

Also: consider buying some cheap, flat, white paint for the inside instead of lining it. It'll be easier to clean, very reflective, and it's really not that expensive.

In regards to horse manure: you'll want to be careful using that. If you do decide to use it, make sure and compost it for a good 2 months or so. This will kill the seeds that might be mixed up in the manure and also makes it a better food source for your plants as I understand it.

quazi later on im gonna put three pc fans. one on the top, the other on middle, and the last on below.

 

[moses224]

You are started but have a long way to go.. That said what your doing is relatively simple. Look around you will see numorous setups that are complete and producing dank bud...just my 2 cents

 

[dj_ilum]

yea i know. im always watching others setups to keep mine good too xD
lets see if i can get some really nice buds
update: i just foiled all round the pc, tomorrow ill post a pic

Looks interesting. Good luck!

Don't know how big of an industry camping is in Portugal but if you can find a camping supply store you could probably find emergency blankets which are a cheap source of mylar sheeting. Here in the US they are $2 at Walmart.

I just looked on eBay and they are on there.

Personally I'd go with white paint over mylar. I've done the $2 walmart security blanket. First they are a pain in the ass to mount--painting is much easier.

Second they are very thin and see-through. I would imagine that some light goes though, thus partially defeating the purpose of reflecting all the light. You probably would need to make it double thick, which is even more of a pain...

Thats my

This made me wonder how flat white paint with emergency blankets over it would work out.

Can you recommend a nice flat white paint that is cheap? How much is the necessary paintbrush? Just trying to calculate the costs in comparison to a $2 emergency blanket.

 

[dj_ilum]

WOW. really? because where i live theres a us military base that sales lot of camping stuff
barnt in case you noticed, the brown walls your seeing are made of cardboard, not wood or plastic
so i think with white paint wont reflect that much
crap. now i have to undone the aluminum foil that i finished
but not now, only when i get some mylar then i can take it off
in mean while heres a little update:
i just foiled all over the pc. here are some pics

 

[Barnt]

Paint will work on cardboard. In fact my mother box is made of cardboard that I used flat white to paint the inside.

If you use cardboard with mylar, the light going through the mylar will have to reflect off the cardboard---which isn't reflective. By painting it with white paint, no light travels through the paint (you may have to apply several coats since cardboard is absorbent) and thus will reflect light better.

I bought a pint (may have been smaller) at walmart for $5 and a disposable brush for less than a buck, so its pretty cheap.

 

[dj_ilum]

ah nice, then what kind of paint is it?
if its cheap, maybe ill could buy it later
