You look like Megan Fox. That's surprising.
Don't worry. PE and HDPE don't have the same plasticizer that causes offgassing syndrome.
Safe to eat off of I believe. Cheers!







p.s. quit smoking.

All Plastics Out Gas...

Ventilation Is The Name Of The Game...

It should be fine. Flexible PVC is the problem material , not Polyethylene.

That plastic isn't going to do a good job of keeping the carpet/flooring dry for long. You can try one of those trays that folks put under their clothes washers, or pond liner. Pond liner is safest, IMO, though not as easy to use as a tray.

Headin' down to Folsom today, gonna see with my eyes.

 

[Harry Gypsna]

are you 100% certain?

Yup. The original growtents had white PE inner walls, Homebox never had any problems with offgassing,(well there were some fakes if you count that) the problems with offgassing growtents came when companies copied homebox, but used PVC on the inside instead of PE.
AS someone mentioned, lots of things we use in the growroom are made of PE. Pots, drippers, supply tubing, irrigation fittings, trays, the plastic housing on thermometers etc etc.
I would definitely think about following Seamaidens advice about getting some pondliner though, that clear sheeting will pierce if you blow on it hard enough. Here in the UK, growshops sell sheeting called "Floor secure", it's just extra thick white PE sheeting. Maybe you will find something similar near you.
It is tempting to go cheap on stuff like this, but when it fails it only ends up costing more money to buy the right thing and fix any damage, so it's cheaper to buy the right thing in the 1st place.

na thats pandafilm,this is clear homedepot polyethylene plastic tarp,its see through and thin,used for roofs and stuff




yeah,but does this one cause harm to plants like pvc does?i dont run exhaust systems,only a.c



are you 100% certain?

Panda is black & white poly.
Its all good.
But Id get a pond liner and remove the carpet if I were you.

lol trust me im happy to no peek,yesterday i worked my ass up,im still tired lol,today i get my break,just leave them be until tommorow,when the lights come back on lol,im bout to smoke a sour diesel blunt and drink some brewskies lol,take a little vacation,

iv had to sleep with lights on for the past 3 weeks,so it feels good to finally be in a dark room lol,im watching movies peacefully,

although i am a little concerned,i used a mixture of botanicare zho and plant sucess soluble micorrizae,and some of the water splashed on the leaves and stems,will this infect the plants in any way?ima make a new thread about it since im kinda worried

yup, nutrients splashing on to the leaves its pretty much a death sentence for those plants




relax a little

some people actually spray mycorhizae on their plants because tricoderma harzanium (lol spelling) can fight off powdery mildew and bud rot.

A few products on the market actually sold for foliar application contain species of tricoderma

So you're absolutely fine.
