Carissa,

A reflector is huge and makes a marked difference in growth, visuals, etc.

I am pretty sure a Google search on 'DIY reflectors' or similar will result in some ideas if finances are an issue....

Not sure if metallic or white makes a better color... I have had both, but feel that the shiny metallic would be better. That is what my MH has..........

Vaughn,

Makes sense and is what I do now...........

I was hoping that there was a magic formula that could tell me that I am right in my estimating I love to be told that I am right about something and to have it confirmed scientifically would be great lol

Thanks.
