>>>if those cheap emergency blankets would work<<<

Sure would... All you are looking for is the reflective surface to keep reflecting the light. (like pong...) till it is absorbed by the plants.

You can buy 4’ X 150’ rolls of 1 mil mylar for about $40

NOTE: Don’t completely seal the whole room and then spend the whole day in there working away... crack the window a bit... Not only for your breathing, but because you want to avoid mold behind the mylar.

Also, you will have a higher humidity than your normal house has in the wintertime (transpiration). Watch your plants for water needs as they will dry pretty fast.

Good reminder and true with any sealed room.

I had no idea that you could buy the mylar in rolls.

My emergency blanket lost the battle, with the cats, they destroyed it in one night.

I had decided to try it out on a cold night and left it in the chair when I went to bed, when I walked in the room the next morning, it was covered in pieces of it, so be ware if you have cats, it made a noise and they ripped it into small pieces.

LOL, Wish I had a video of it, as I am talking about separate pieces, not holes.

I my give some thought to the extra light, as I can no longer see more than about 25 % of my vision and even with 2 100 wat bulbs hanging here, shining down, still can’t see.

Beware of the light bulbs you buy, for I fuss at Scott when he brings me the pinkish ones, took time to read the label and it says they put out 25% less light, but are still rated 100 watt.
