im a noob grower so be nice

Im tryin to go fairly cheap right now with a closet design I have. The system will be Hydro ebb and flow with 10 plants. I JUST put the seeds in germ stage yesterday. As you can see the grow area isnt complete yet. I still need to add the exhaust and intake as well as an oscillating fan for the plants and more. But my biggest issue right now is figuring out what i should use for reflector for my ghetto rig light . Its a 6 light CFL (daylight) setup only running at 27 watts and 1400 lumens per bulb at the moment. The lights are split on a power strip in a Y shape and every other socket has 2 lights on each tip for 6 in all. Also, is a bunch of CFL thats outputting only 27 watts going to cut it? I was thinking of purchasing another 6 lights and another strip for 12 in all to cover more area.

Ill be adding mpre photos of my setup as soon as photobucket decides to stop shitting itself.

thanks boys

RUO -.-

A reflecter would really help to get more light to the plants and get more lights. Goodluck growing.

sheet metal or cardboard and aluminum foil = WALA! REFLECTOR!

i made this one out of 2 4" ducting pieces cut off the ends folded them and connected them. Not too shabby IMO

Are you going to spread the lights out more at a later stage? They are all close together at the moment I notice. For the reflector, if you're on a budget white paint can be found pretty much anywhere, like your garage LOL. You have 168watts of CFL which is ok for a small grow, LST or SCROG anyway. Do you have two sets of bulbs, eg 2700 and 6500?
