I like mylar personally. Has good reflective qualities and is easy for me to get.
I thought of that myself bit the roof paint is a small fortune and it goes on real thick and I'm wondering how healthy it is to keep in an enclosed room with the plants.. It is after all meant for the outside applications
Unless you have really high ceilings I personally believe 5 gal is overkill indoors. I mean, how big do you want to get them? A 3 gal pot can grow really decent sized plants, I've been using them a long time. I only transplant once, really. Clone -> 6" pot -> final pot.
glass is bad actually you dont want the roots to see light!! i believe the reason was it causes the roots to think they are at the top of the soil or stresses the plant or something but im sure you dont want the roots to see light....but ya you can veg a little longer just make sure to train the plants well once you get to a certain height you wont get much light penetration without having trained the plant properly.....i also only transplant one time from a party style cup straight to the 5 gallon bucket (because those are cheap)
ahhh i must have read right over that part....you could get the rubbermaid bins and drill holes if you want plastic...either the 20 gallon rectangle style and two plants per tub or maybe you can find a more square style that is smaller..im sure you could macguyver something lol...look into air pruning, basically is where you put alot of holes in the pot on the sides and bottom and watch for the roots to start growing out the holes then when they see light and hit air they prune themselves off and start regrowing elsewhere...at least thats what i gathered, promotes root growth! i tried it once but my roots never made it to the edge of my huge pot
