So, I recently buildt myself a Nice grow cabinet equipped with a humidifier, thermometer, fan. The cabinet is equipped with 8 40 watt 6500k cfl and 8 40 watt 2700k. I purchased fox farm ocean potting soil, superthrive, and some nutes. forget what they're called.. so does everything sound good? How many plants do you think I could support? And I've heard aluminum foil can be used to reflect light, would that be fine? I read about mylar and white paint but foil is all I have.. would foil be better than nothing? Thanks.

White paint is better than foil, but you can get a BIG mylar blanket at Wally World in the camping dept. for 2 bucks.
How can we answer how many plants will fit if you don't tell how big the box is, or even give a pic so we can see bulb placement.
:lol:

My camera on my phone is broken atm. I can fit 6 2.5 gal pots in there and have enough room for a humidifier and a fan. My light set up is this, a bulb in each top corner. Two in the middle above. 3 lights in the mid sections on three walls, two random tube lights I found on each door, 3 more bulbs on each wall lower at the floor. I have 5 more remaining cfls I think ima place another two on the top, and the reaming three in the lower corners. Pretty much light in every direct. that setup sound good?

Edit: I meant how many plants can that amount of light grow? 640 watt cfl in total
