Thanks for the advice, I'll keep my eyes peeled for mylar or some nice flat white poly plastic. I looked in my CRC handbook and it says aluminum is only about 75% reflective to (what it calls) "incandescent" light, I guess they mean visible light. I'll grab some nice bright printer paper until i find something more appropriate!!

Nah incandescent means the emission of light from a hot body source due to its temperature. Its just a regluar house hold light bulb. But not only does it reflect light but it also reflects alot of heat which is why you don't want to use foil.

I got 3 plants, 4 days old. I just changed Halogen i used to bring the sprout up, now i placed 2 45W (160) CFLs on the top really close to them. Will this setup be okay for some time?

Are those available to us in the united states, and if so where can we buy these lights from? Sounds like some good stuff.

does anyone have a canopy evenness problem?

one of my plants is growing like crazy and leaving the others in the dust..

the top of this plant is so damn healthy.... i would have to chop it...

can someone help me out?

is there any lighting device that i can use to hand from the hood so i can put light directly on top of the plants that need it?
