Sup dudes I’ll cut to the chase huge fan major supporter of the RECHARGE. 2 weeks ago I moved into our new home and well I think I want to get out of the tent and into a room…. Lumber prices suck so looking at using 1x3x8 boards. My question to the dudes is, what would you use for reflection? I’ve been leaning towards white paint. I’ll just sit back and burn some to contemplate so I thought who better to ask💨💨💨💨. I’ve been growing for years outdoors and in tents so this to me it a major upgrade. I attached my current grow Gelato 33 running on happy frog and lotus nutrients currently just hit week 4 of flower…
Flat white wall paint
Interlocking PVC wall panels if you want to go all out, otherwise white paint or panda film.
I consulted the DGC about grow room paint here in the grow questions way back in 2016. I got some great answers and I ended up using Zinnsser bullseye 123 flat white primer in my grow. The white paint + leds totally transformed my space from a dark spooky cave to a bright grow room. The flat white primer really brightens up the room and is pretty easy to keep clean. I’m still using that room now and the paint has worked out very well.
The flat white primed walls totally transformed that room from a dark spooky cave to a bright clean grow room. you can see the build out and the same room still in use in the articles below.

I went ahead and framed out a 6×8 room. I had a surplus of reflecting roofing felt so I lined the walls, ceiling, and floor with it. Just chopped her down 2 days ago. Currently have 8 getting ready to move into room along with clones.
