I want to paint the inside of my grow room white as a cheap way of increasing reflectivity. but i assume since paint fumes are bad for humans they're bad for plants. am i right? and i can't really take them out before the paint dries b/c its so cold outside the room. any ideas?

are paint fumes flammable though? i know spray cans air because of the aerosol, but is oil based paint fumes flammable. i have an oil radiator in there and im about to paint it so some quick advice would be helpful so i don't blow myself up.

The purpose of government is to keep the balance of power in place, by fooling the populus into believe that they are physically powerless individuals, instead of an overpowering organism.

The tools by which a small armed force rules over a large populus are well explored in history, all democracys are designed to fool the people into believeing that they have real political power, and allows every action of the governing body to be sanctioned by the populus, because they voted for the leader.

The voting system is, of course, always a sham. Such things are easily rigged, with the selection of a small number of candidates and with large coorperate funding to the intended victors.

The individual is weak, the organism is strong. The revolution will not be televised.

oh man i made a big mistake. i used acrylic to do the first coat which is fine, but for the second coat i found this old paint can with black gloss. half-way through painting i remembered gloss is generally flammable and then found all these warning labels on the side about combustion. FUCK that freaked me out cause i have two heat sources going in there: HPS, and oil rad and i could have blown myself up with my plants. so i dried the paint as quickly as i could with a sheet, covered up all the cracks in the box and got the fuck out of there. i'm just praying my room doesn't explode. (i prbly should have turned the oil rad off)


water based paint doesn't really show on wood. ever used water colors? they barely show up on paper.
