Grow room reflective materials compared - Silver mylar - Matt white paint - Gloss white - Grow tents 

Right? Like literally EXACTLY what I was looking for, and it's the second video that he hits the subject bang on for me, great content my dude, great content. Oh and Thaaaaaaaank you for the info o/

Thanks Matt, I checked out your channel and subscribed. I'm going to watch your videos on hydro pepper production. I'm looking for advice on the best nutrient solution for our upcoming grow test with chili plants. Any advice on what to use for good flavor and yield?

Personally, I use Dyna-Gro Grow 7-9-5, which is a complete one-part macro/micro nutrient with pH stabilizer, and cal-mag. While I have not used them personally, the Masterblend, General Hydroponics, Maxi Grow, and other nutrients seem to do well too. Regarding flavor, a mature chili from a flavorful variety is a good start. Soil grown plants, when water stressed can produce some of the best flavors. For quicker results indoors, growing in rockwool blocks or small containers helps. Topping right after the 3rd or 4th leaf node helps to change the shape of the plant. You want a short and wide plant, with a good canopy. Also, trimming off the leaves under that massive canopy helps. Otherwise those under canopy leaves that are not getting light are just wasting the plants energy. In addition to small pots and effective shaping, using a wet/dry cycle with extended dry times will stress the roots without killing them. This is often another trigger to start the flowering and fruiting process. Don't be afraid of trying to switch peppers to flowering sooner than thought, as pepper plants will continue to increase in canopy size even after starting to fruit. Dryer air and more air circulation, combined with more interspacing between plants, helps push peppers toward fruiting too.

Thanks for the advice. I'll use that👍

and mold and fungus you need to worry about, PM and botrytis. Need something that is washable

@@SuperCanada89 from what I understand, using a mold resistant paint or bathroom paint helps.

Diamond its easy too. No hotspots

We have an old video with orca tested against Mylar link here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XwTOlnZrUOE.html

mirrors

@@gatoslokosforever hmm is that one of those things that makes complete sens when you hear it and then theres some weird reason it don't work

I agree. I'm also wondering about Hidden Harvests Growlight's 36 watter. It looks good but the low power kinda makes me wary

HLG? Like the 550 V2?

thanks

Yes. Using reflective walls improves efficiency by only 5%. The lens directs most of the ligh onto the grow area

...I dont understand ? Why isn't anybody using reflector panels inside tent near the plants ?...A.C.Feuerhelm

Diamond silver Mylar is $5 a metre and just as good. Most silver Mylar tents are just as good. It's a generic and cheap material. In this case the cheap solution is best👍

The thicker one reflects more IR back so its better for ceilings of the room if you don't want to be the only house in the snowstorm with a clear roof. And its tougher/longer lasting, less rip/tear prone and if its backed with white, its cleanable. Thin mylar doesn't last, it goes see through over time becomes brittle and its noisy, thick stuff looks the same after 10 years

Never mind found info right after. Going with milar on a home build

Sorry I'm late in replying. I'll answer your mail tomorrow. Take care Shane
