You need to get rid of that tin foil. Tin foil doesn't reflect anything but hot spots. Thats another reason why its more hot in your space. your white walls would reflect better. Or buy mylar, white/black (don't know the proper name but they got them at grow shops), or get those car windshield reflectors. and that lst link you found explains how you should lst a plant. i don't get why you says it's horrible when it clearly shows you a GOOD way.
Other than that keep up the good work.

also i have a few agrosun 60 watt incandescent growbulbs. would those have any use?? maybe replacing 1 or 2 of the cfls with an incandescent? no?
Don't do that. Make sure for now you are using mostly lighting in the 6500k spectrum if you are using cfl's. When you go to flower your plants switch to 2700k bulbs. The term incandescent basically = useless for growing marijuana.

Btw your plants look healthy, have you used nutes yet? It's funny how your skunk looks kind of like some of my nyc diesels since they share some genetics.

yeah i figure that out after buying 3 of them. early on i switched and i have 3 cfl's that are 5100k and i have 2 t5 2ft long tubes that are 4200K.i just started my flowering 3 days ago and switched them to 12/12 with an adding of dyna-gro bloom.the right amount of course.quick question what kind of bulbs afre 2700k??? cfls??? and would it be okay to keep the t-5s hanging over still?
