I'm gonna be purchasing greenhouse film but don't know which one to choose....I wanted to know has anyone noticed a difference with there flowering plants when it comes to light diffusion for the greenhouse? Obivously 100%light diffusion is better but is there that much noticable difference versus 52% light diffusion. Any recommendations which film is good? Thanks in advance

farmtek.com take you pick. i love their woven poly it wont let ya down. cheaper coverings fail at bad times. thinner coverings fail and arent as stealthy. if its too clear than people can see in . if you buy a lower light level film than you might not need a shade cloth in hotter times. all things to consider when buying

what light diffusion percentage? i was looking at one that has 100% but its more pricey, i may just get the cheaper one for now then get the other one later.....

lol i use thick plastic drop cloth, the kind you find in the paint isle at home depot. $20 for 10'x 50'. cheap but works.

A 30-50% diffused, reinforced poly greenhouse film will work well. Don't bother with cheap visqueen.
