    Too much importance is given to the reflective qualities of the walls. ime, anything over 90% reflective is good enough.

    My best ever gpw grow with photos used 3mm white faced mdf for the walls. I've also used cheap white emulsion paint. Dulux Absolute White from their Light & Space range, very bright and expensive. Orca, which is the most reflective material up to now and close to £100 a roll. Not much yield difference between them.

    An attic grow I set up for a mate started with Orca hung like a shower curtain around an 8'x4' growing area. He got fed up with the Orca getting in the way and now grows open plan. Any yield loss is minimal and he prefers the easier access to the plants.

    Flat white paint is 75% - 85% reflective. Works well enough. Would add a fungicide to it.

    Titanium Oxide can be added to paint to make it brighter. It's a safe product. Gets used in a lot of stuff including toothpaste.

    The tent has landed and I am amazed at the quality of the poles - I haven't pulled the fabric out yet as I wont be putting the tent up until after lights on.

    The poles are much more sturdy than the DR120 and considering I have paid £10 more for my Budbox than I did for the DR120 4 years ago I have just got me one hell of a bargain. I just hate the thought of trying to get it up later. (Oo, er, missus!)

    defo worth the money!

    if you find it sucks in too much at the side, you can get some of these.. 25mm connectors.




    you for the poles, you can get the same thickness or if you have old thinner poles laying around from an older tent, you can use these. just cut and shave down the plastic connectors so it fits.


    the following is how i had it on old tent. also budbox with the utility/scrog shelf.
    plastic connectors on the corners.





    when i upgraded to the thicker poles and got the metal connectors..




    as you can see i used the old plastic bits cut and shaved to fit into the 25mm.

    on the front ones i shortened the poles a few mm and put a sleeve made from old plastic bit so i can remove them for acesss.

    pics aren't the best but if yo feel you wanna do something like this let me know and ill dig out the connectors from the shed and take better pics..

    might even do a little guide
