Yes, mirrors work very well. Most of us use Mylar as it's cheap and easy to work with.

If you want to increase plant size (and ultimately higher yields) and can afford the space, yes, you should transfer them into bigger pots. Otherwise you would leave them in the smaller pots if you are limited on space.

Give me rep.

Mirrors do reflect light however they aren't very efficient. Better to use Panda film, white paint or mylar. If your seeing roots already all bunched up, then it is better to transplant them and give it a few days before switching to 12/12. 1 gallon pots are pretty small for a 11" plant. Remember the plant will double in size in the first week or two if its got the room to do it.

mirrors create hot spots and belong in the bathroom not in the growroom...if u want to fry you plants and hit them with uneven light then mirrors a must... mylar is cool but can get expensive... i just paint the surface flat white and that gives all the reflection you need

you could always do low stress training(lst) and keep them tied down... or you can SCROG... screen of green by weaving the canopy through chicken wire. keeps the canopy at a uniform grow hight and makes the stretch easier to compensate for... whats your grow space and lighting and such?

people who actually know their stuff on this forum will tell you mirrors suck ask it in the advanced growing tech forum and they tell ya the same... they reflect more heat then light... flat white painted walls will reflect more light.... 52 inches of space...... what bud are you growing? and what are you using for lights... i need all the info of the grow space to make a proper estimate.. as a sativa will stretcha shit ton more then a indica... either way at leastit will double in height in flower.

Yes, as MrSteve pointed out I'm actually a total noob to all of this at the moment, but on the subject of reflective surfaces I would highly suggest Mylar. I believe I paid 35$ for 50', or you can also get 20$ for 25'. Checkout htgsupply.com.

Mirrors actually soak in light

You could be right broskey. As I've said before this all depends on the mirror you are using.

Some mirrors are insane and can reflect light so bright it could leave you blind for 10 years, and possibly mutate your dna in such a way that all of your offspring would be blind for 10 years. Eventually Your DNA would reach a point at which your physical being no longer resembled the homosapien, and in fact, resembled something of a zombie-looking creature. Hungry for flesh you begin to feast on your once related species, eventually taking over the world in a giant zombie fest. All is well until Jesus makes his second arrival and basically fucks up the zombie agenda. God then tells Jesus, "Do you realize how fucking badass it would be to have a zombie planet? Where Death and Life are opposite? Meaning upon Death, you are alive forever, and in Death, you must feed on the living to stay dead." Jesus rebukes, "Don't bullshit me. I'm a cop you idiot". Following these harsh words Jesus begins to tase god. "Don't tase me bro, don't tase me", yells God. As to no surprise, God is actually storm, from xmen, and feeds off of electricity. After Jesus realizes his mistake, it is too late. God kills Jesus with a vicious kamayhamayha wave that sends shockwaves through the decimated lands of ZombieEarth.

Zombies now reign for all eternity.

But yeah man, you should seriously get Mylar, it's very good.
