Thank you very much, I wasnt sure what to use!!!! I'll use mylar or panda stuff, with ply wood. thanks ahain bro.
Turn your caps off next time. I use a 400 mh/hps in my closet and I don't have any bugs or anything like that. You can lay down pond liner which is a really thick black tarp style material used in...well ponds. Use that as a run-off tray to catch water and it will also keep the bugs out of your carpet. You can find it at any home depot or lowes. During spring walmart might even have it. EDIT: If you're uber cheap, you can lay down plastic garbage bags and duct tape them to the floor just make sure to leave extra to tape to the walls so when you spill it doesn't seep into the cracks between the wall and carpet.
