Ok so I had to rig a Super cheapo reflector out of one of those lasagna aluminum throw away baking pans cause I am out of $ for now. It is set up with a 250W HPS. My question is, would the shiny aluminum be best or should I spray paint the inside of it flat white? And would the white paint...

I have the option of getting 3000K t5s or 2700K T8s for flowering. Is 2700K better than 3000K for flowering? If so, would the increased efficiency (more light) of the t5 make up for the poorer color temp? These are regular bulbs btw, not HO. (they are just for suplimental lighting, I will...
