im with grorite you still need to come closer with your lights. 2-3 inches max would let the light penetrate further and thus leaving you with more compact buds. and the tin foil has to go, sorry man but tin foil doesnt really reflect light as much as it does heat. cut some beercans in half and paint them white .
Keep up the good work
