Need help with grow box

Okay this is my first time growning mj myself. So i have a few questions. I made my grow room out a old chicken coop we had and i saw people put silver stuff on the walls. Well i was wondering what they used and if it is neccesary. I read somewhere that using alluminum foil is not good because it will create hott spots. I'm using a chick light with a red bulb to kinda warm up the grow box, I have the box in the barn and it is starting to get pretty cold so i was wondering if the light could harm my plants. I'm also using 4 CFL lights, if i turn on the chick light to warm it up do i also have to turn on the CFL lights? and could someone tell me if i did something wrong with the grow box or if i need something else or whatever. I'm new to all this so any advice is good.

Lol the measurements are 42x31x48 and i am using maracle grow and i got no clue from where the seeds are, my buddy had a few plants and got more females than he expected so he gave me a few.

Well they are still small, but two looks like its already in the flowering stage so i just kept the light at 12/12, Should i change it to 20/40?

idk it up to u, u can try to reveg them trim the buds of slowly, and make sure u dont kill it or get mold, or u could just let them flower 12/12 and get some bud pretty fast and them your next grow order some seeds online and have some danky dank dank:joint:

well they will become little yellow flowers, so i guess u got a tranny on your hands, u can cut the pods off and battle it every day, or u can just let nature take it place and get less potent produce and get a shit ton of female seeds, thats the reason your buddy gave u it, most likely but he could have not knew or know about it

Alright Well then what i will do try it out with one plant and cut them off on the other plant but then should i keep my light on at 12/12 or change it, because i rather have them get bigger to that i can keep the plant after harvest instead of starting all over again. I got the picture up of the grow box

Okay so i use 4 cfl lights but it doesn't really keep the plants that warm because it gets pretty cold. Now i also use a chick light with a red light bulb to keep it kinda warm in my grow box. Usually i have it on at night. Now Should i just use the chick light or should i use both the chick light to warm up the the box and the 4 cfl lights?
