Aluminum foil, or nothing at all?

SenorSanteria · Dec 15, 2007

I cant really do much in here as far as reflection except maybe some aluminum foil. The walls are bare (see pics). Should i leave it as is, or add some foil?

Ive got a fan and 2 more 42w cfl's going in tomorrow.

Ive got them under 24hr lights until they sprout, then ill switch to 18/6.

Tips and advice is appreciated.

One of them is JUST poking out of the ground. You can kinda see it in the pic.

I know, but I cant really paint there. Foil, or nothing?

You could tack up some white foamcore (posterboard) just as easily as you could put up tinfoil. Maybe easier!

tinfoil hasa a tendency to create minute focal points of reflected light, and can burn areas of the plant......white styrofoam insulation sheets would be a simple way?

CFL's dont get hot enough for that to be a fire hazard, do they? Can the CFL's safely touch the posterboard? If so, ill do this!

They arent glasses- theyre plastic, with drainage holes.
