REFLECTIVE PLASTIC

Reflect success: Reflective plastics in marijuana growing

Reflective plastic foil is a key tool for optimising light and maximising the growth of your plants. These metallised foils have revolutionised the way growers optimise lighting. Let’s take a closer look at the incredible potential of Mylar foil.

Boosting the light

Reflective plastic is a film designed to redirect light towards plants. They are composed of a reflective layer that directs the light that touches its surface back to the leaves and buds. This makes the most of every watt of light and increases photosynthetic efficiency.

Wide range of options

The variety of reflective plastics is wide. The most common are polyethylene plastics with a reflective surface. There are also metallised films and Mylar foils, known for their high reflectivity. These materials come in different thicknesses and degrees of reflectivity.

Extreme reflective technology

Mylar reflective plastic sheets are polyester sheets coated with a thin layer of aluminium. This metallic coating provides exceptional reflectivity, capable of redirecting up to 98% of the light that strikes its surface. This characteristic makes them an essential tool for increasing photosynthetic efficiency.

How are they used?

The reflective plastic is placed on the walls of the growing space, forming a kind of “reflective cube” around the plants. They can also be used to create reflective “walls” inside growing tents. Make sure that the leaves and buds receive the reflected light to maximise the benefits.

Boosting yields

The main function of reflective plastic is to increase the quantity and quality of light reaching our plants. This results in faster growth, denser buds and improved overall yields. In addition, by reducing dark spots in the growing space, the risk of fungal diseases is reduced.

Effect on yield

The incorporation of Mylar reflective plastic paper in our growing space translates into excellent results. As our plants make the most of the reflected light, we will see faster growth, thicker stems and denser buds. On the other hand, these reflective plastic sheets help to increase the production of resins and essential oils.

Light diffusion

In addition to their reflective properties, Mylar reflective plastic also spreads light evenly over the entire growing surface. This prevents the formation of hot spots and shadows, allowing every corner of your plants to receive the right amount of light. The result is more uniform growth and a more homogeneous harvest.

Strength and durability

In addition to their impressive reflective capabilities, Mylar reflective plastic sheets are durable and resistant to wear and tear. They are resistant to moisture and do not corrode easily, which guarantees a long service life. This means that, with proper care, they can serve you for multiple growing cycles.

The smart choice

In the exciting journey of growing marijuana, every step counts. Choosing to use Mylar reflective plastic sheeting as a light reflecting option is a smart choice. Their ability to improve the distribution and intensity of light in our growing space can make the difference between an average harvest and an exceptional yield. With Mylar sheeting, we are taking a step forward in optimising our growing and on the road to becoming an expert cannabis grower.
