Never thought of that, been keeping eye on it and temp stays between 75-80 and low humidity so far, I got a tent coming in couple weeks to change it out...waa just a thought at first to see if I could do it and I believe I can with right stuff...tganksIf that's tin foil, I've read many times that it can create hot spots (reflections) on plants. White posterboard might work better. (I saw something once that said flat white reflects the most light. I remember that stuck with me because my T5HO fixtures have mirror reflectors. I wondered why they weren't white.).

From what i read flat white has 85% reflectivity and almuninum polished or dimples can be up to 95%. Mylar is in between.
Thanks, you're right. I went back and looked at something I saw on Trollitup a few years and I read it wrong. Tin foil actually is up there in the 95% range too. Flat white is somwhere in the 75-90 range. (I think I'd be worried about mylar creating hot spots like tin-foil is reported to do. If does, I wonder why mylar is different. But, my example about T5HO focused reflectors probably wouldn't suffer from that -- being a fixed shape, rigid. So, I can see how that mirrored surface would be better than white.).
It got tossed in garbage last week when I got the 2x2 tent, suppose to had gotten my other one today so hoping for tomorrow.You need to get rid of the foil, its pretty much useless!!
Was thinking of running its on light on different timer plug on the one coming, got 1000w LED coming too...have another exhuast fan and piping to be safe. Just trying to save on eletric.got la garden , but now need 2, but to daisy chain 2 led, will that run the first one down, or better to just plug in direct?
