I'd go ahead and get a new seed going for when this one inevitably doesn't work out, try to get 150 ish real watts and have them closer to the plant if you're using cfls. You can never go wrong with more light
You probably don't want to hear this, but tinfoil sucks. Bounces light all around, creates hot spots that can burn your plant. I'd recommend doing just a simple search on here, "tinfoil", and weed thru to the ones talking about using it as reflective material (there are lots talking about smoking out of tinfoil) and read a few different threads. There's other options talked about, but also the reasons not to use tinfoil, repeated, over and over.
Yes. Not sure of what the material is behind the tinfoil so I didn't make a suggestion but steered you to the answers. If you have the option to paint it, white is the bomb for reflecting. You could also grab a space blanket and staple it in place but white paint is the way to go if you can. I believe flat white, but if you search around, especially in the "grow room setup" forum you'll be able to figure out the proper paint to use.
Then that gives you either as an option. Paint you will need to give time to dry AND get the fumes out before your plant goes back in there. If you use mylar, or a space blanket once you're done getting it secured everything can go right back in. My choice would be paint, search around a bit too get the info on the right paint to use, you'll find it, I don't remember for sure off the top of my head though.
I just read that tinfoil doesnt create hotspot its like myth i did alot of work puting that tinfoil on the walls i dont find mylar in my country there is only option is white latex paint or leave the tinfoil
Your choice, it reflects heat, you have a small grow space with a light that puts out a fair amount of heat. Every spot there is a crinkle the light will reflect in an uneven way, bouncing the light around. It's definitely better than what you had before. I know the tinfoil will reflect heat, my roof on my house is shiny metal instead of painted and it's chilly in here in the middle of the summer when it's hot and the sun is beaming down because it reflects the heat away. Some people use it and get away with it, others have issues with it. Just know that you have risks to pay attention to and watch out for if you use it.
Il think about change my reflection i will not grow anything now that plant is basicaly dead im going on vacation and start from begining next month enough time too rethink everything how should i make door im thinking of cardboard?
Forget about the tinfoil , how close is your light ? do you exhaust the hot air out of your groom ? do you have a thermometer to know the temperature ? if its above 85 F or 30 C its too hot , did you water your plant ?
