That’s great growth for a month! What you can expect from an HPS light. You honestly don’t need the side lighting, just my opinion

Yes lol. Very. Make sure. No blinking lights, no light coming through a window or a weird crack in a windowsill. Inspect it like it top to bottom in the dead of night.
If I was your buddy I'd find out when you were gonna do it, sneak in, and scare the shit out of you. Lol

So essentially although they reflect 99% of light they don't reflect 99% of the wave lengths of light.
Chew on that shit. Because that's confusing as fuck to me.
I'd just get mylar.

I heard they can cause hot spots also. I seen a movie once where it snatched this girls soul. I don't do mirrors.

If ur on a budget and got some area to cover, consider flat white paint:
80-90% reflectivity.
Creates no hotspots.
Reflects little heat.
Easy to clean.
Cheap.
