Just put some mylar on the floor for even more.....reflectiveness<awesome word.

dont put the mylar on the floor put a tarp down.

I would suggest using 10"-12" pots if you don't want to ever transplant the suckers. but remember, using bigger pot's like these means watering a fair amount of water weekly. It is never good to put a seedling in a big pot though. Just do what I do and buy 6" peat pots, and when the plants get big enough the roots grow right through the pots, and you just have to throw the whole thing into a bigger pot without ever touching the root system. The plants should be about 6" tall at this point, and entering the vegetative state.

As for the floor, I think dylster88 is right, a tarp would be good, or if you want 100% reflectivity, use Mylar like *Kush* suggested.
