Hey. Welcome to growing and all the choices that go with it. Sounds like you have the perfect potential places to start. My advice would be make your self a cab to go into one of those places. Id probs go with the room with the most average temp. As far as foil is concerned its a no no. It makes hotspots and isnt that good at doing what you think it will. Reflection. Paint the inside of your cab flat white. Its somthing like 90% reflective. Ventilation. Obviously is very important. I see your wanting to use cfls. Well they dont put out much heat so your not going to need anything big. Somthing like a pc fan attached to a small carbon filter. Lighting. You need as much light as you can possibly get in the space you plan to use. Skimping out here will cost you bud. Cfls, leds, Hids are all a good choice.
