so i got the other pack of cfls and made a splitter out of a old fan i had also used the splitter i got from home depot and put them on each side of the plant on an angle as u can see so theres 400 on 1 side and 400 on the other and the other 2 100 watters on going on the bottom for the bottom branches so now all together theres 1100 watts all together and close to 25,000 lumens so im guessing im good on lights and now to work on my reflectors, can i use mirrors for reflectors??

Mirrors are what u dont want in the grow room. Man they have windshield reflectors you can buy for a dollar at the dollar tree for your growspot :) or you can by these kind of reflectors for your lights20170718_193830.jpg
