These look like theyll be ok how they are under cfls.
As for the first two you showed, when i supercrop i first pinch the stem till i hear a little pop or feel it crush in a little. Otherwise the stem can be too rigid and snap and thatll be the end of it
This is what i go for

Itll slow them a bit for now but it was your best option for getting light to the lower areas of the plant and getting a good yield. They look healthy otherwise so theyll be ok as long as you did it right

Also the top will try to rise again if you dont tie it down. Id tie it down now with bellwire personally from somewhere near the top, otherwise itll do this (below) and just try to go right back up. If you tie it high up the rest of its stretch will be all the upward growth and you should end up with a nice canopy in good light
You should put a pic of how it is now

you're prolly right, on some scientific level......for the average joe, flat white will reflect better than wadded up mylar......then there's that moisture barrier I mentioned............

Even wadded up, light would have to reflect off mylar 8 times to get down to 85% of the light left, while at that point flat white would leave at most 27%.

isn't that a bit unfair though? obviously the paint isn't wadded up but its as flat as what it's applied to........which is my basic point, can't really fuck it up......and that moisture barrier......i get what you're saying though, those numbers are correct dude, I believe you....

Is it that hard to lay mylar flat? Sorry for getting so technical on you
. But it really isnt that hard to use mylar imo. And the benefits are obvious if you use the right texture of mylar. I agree with the moisture barrier but you could achive that another way and still use mylar for its reflectivity. Sorry if i come off as confrontational lol. I totally like the white paint thing (looks amazing) i just wanna lay out the benefits of mylar

8 time light reflection....think about folding a piece of paper 8 times....at that point, youre done.
i reckon it's somewhat subjective.
the stuff in your pics looks way easier to work with though than the thin sheets.
no worries dude....im not picking up any confrontation at all I'm just high on a cannabis board......... it's like tinting windows I guess.....is it that hard compared to just painting the window?Is it that hard to lay mylar flat? Sorry for getting so technical on you

Yeah ive heard of people using the car windshield things. They use mylar for those
As for the folding paper thing, not related in any way lol, light can definitely go for 9 or 100 or 1000
