Hey using white paint on the outside of the milk container will keep the water temperature cooler and provide a better environment for root growth with less problems. Black absorbs the most light as heat, white simply reflects light better so it doesn't heat up as fast. The same principle applies to the black surfaces around the plant... might think about using something white to reflect light better (so the plant can use it). Otherwise, mylar isn't that expensive and would help you use more of the limited wattage you say you have for lighting.
The light you see commin from the top is the 27w bulb. The other comming from the side its a 10w bulb that I added just before i took the picture.
Well, it is pretty simple in fact. I just cut a hole at the top of the 1 gallon juice container and painted it black. Then I added some hydro solution and a air pump for oxigenation. That simple.
I painted black cuz I didnt want light to get in so I could keep algae from growing inside. But I will add some white paint to increase reflection. The walls will be white too (actually this setup was completely unexpected so it definitely needs more refining).
Thank you all for your comments!

Hey buddy - do me/us a favor and keep the thread updated with pics or start and link to a journal. I'm curious how it's going to develop in flowering. Forgive me for not re-reading the post, but did you say what your plans are when it is time to flower? Going to stick with the same wattage or increase as the plant gets larger?

that thing is a beast for such little light!
Thanks a lot for your advice guys!
As you can see in the last pics, I added a 42w 2700k lamp. So now i got one 15w, one 27w and one 42w. I know this is not much, so I will be adding more soon (I would love to get some HID lamps, but I dont know where to get them in my country, plus I dont have that much money right now, therefore Im sticking to CFLs for the moment).
I'll be posting more pics soon.
Cheers
