Mirrors actually absorb light. You can get those emergency blankets at Wal-Mart for around 3 bucks, in the camping section.

i have a quick question for grow space. i have all of the walls of my grow colored white except for the door which is brown. i noticed you said that white plastic would work as a cheap reflector. so does that mean that i could use a white plastic garbage bag an just tape it to the door and it would help reflect light? ps. my box is about 3 x 3 x 2 so light reflection is key.
