Go to Lowes (if in the US) and grab some of those red flags they have at the lumber exit for tying on your car...cover the bottom of your grow box with them..I'm trying this for the first time...apparently tomato growers swear by using red plastic mulch to reflect more of the red spectrum onto their plants (increases yield apparently)
