Im only making a small grow box so I don't feel like paying for 50 square feet of Mylar and iv heard tinfoil is bad. So would white primer be fine?
[quote name='"hemi4spd"']it sure would, get it coated real good[/quote] Great and if there's parts of the box that can't be be painted. Will this create hot spots or anything.
id say Nah man, but to be sure what kind of light we talkin about here? I think youd only het hot spotsif the surface is reflective. Or should I say the "clarity" of the reflection, like Matte Vs. Hi Gloss and how can younot get paint into places? try spraying? or pour the paint in the box and rol the box around a bit, dump out excess and voila all coated who cares bout a few runs or what not lol biggest concern I wiuld think is the direct heat off your bulb, use the backof your hand right over your highest part of your plant if it feels hot then it is, raise ur light and check again. hope this cabinet has the height to accomodate raising of the light and plant growth Pics may help Cheap thermometer is your friend. If you weresmart youd build this box then run it for a bit and see what kind of temps/humidity you can stabilize it at before putting your baby in there

And the box is a little under 3 ft is that enough for raising the light?
