if tinfoil is all you have or can afford yes dull side towards plants reason being dull side when hung wrinkel free. holds very little heat best to have a small fan blown across the foil to insure no real heat build ups. wrinkels hold heat, cheap alternative is a cold weather emergancy blanket from local sporting good store. again hang it wrinkel free flat white paint is also a very good reflector and heat wont build up
Tnkx dude ,its not all i can afford, its only i saw some good grows with it & tried it , if u think its not that good then i'm gonna try that emergency foil just to be safe. tnkx 4 your comment
