hello guys.
just ordered some somango xxl seeds, they will take sometime to be delivered to egypt.
so for now i am reading ed rosenthal's book : the marijuana growers handbook, till the seeds arrive.
in the book he mentioned that you should cover the walls with foil for reflecting the light.
is this necessary? can i skip this step?

You can go with flat white paint and your results will be just as good.

panda film is about $1 per 10' wide section at most hydro stores that will sell it off a roll. Otherwise you can find 10x10's and other sizes online. Also known as black/white poly film.

Foil is a horrible mylar substitute as it leaves hot spots.

red is the only color that reflects off it (the reason you see red). emergency blankets should be easy to find.

So can i use the red mylar?
I think i can get emergency blankets.
Should i cover the 4 walls of the room or only near the plants?

I wouldnt use the red mylar, as it won't reflect most of the light that hits it.
Depends on how far the walls are away and if they'll do anything worth while. You could set up cardboard/mylar reflectors to get closer to the plants and move them away as you need to work around them. Tents are good because there's always a bit of side lighting close by thanks to the mylar.
