Ok so working on my grow setup. I am using a rubbermaid i have 5 germ seeds in some 16 oz cups. Right now i have 4 26watt 6500 Daylights and i put a piece reynolds wrap (the more shiny side) down 1 side. Is this Good and Should i put it all around? And do u think i need more light? Thanks

Flat white paint is better than foil. With foil you get reflective hot spots from the wrinkles in the foil. Personally, I use Panda Film. It's waterproof, easy to cut and tack up in my closet grow and easy to clean and disinfect. About $20 for a 10'x10' sheet. Rule of light is about 5000 lumens per sq ft of grow area. You can veg in what you have but when you go to flower add 4 more 2700k Warm White cfl's. If you don't you'll have some flowers/buds but they will be what they call popcorn buds and you'll probably get less than an ounce per plant tops.

Fan is always good. Oscellating fan and blowing over the plants but not directly on them ( aim it at the lights ). It exercises the stems and they can then hold bigger buds. They need the CO2 from the fresh air too.
