shit michiganeers, just say thumb, finger 1,2,3 or 4, or palm quadrant! thats why your state is shaped like that!
also, yes, aluminium foil or white paint will work if youre broke. thats what i use! when i was painting my shed's interior white, i got stuck to the other wall by the paint so.... sticky wet paint + aluminum foil = smooth reflective surface! if you smooth on the foil any color house paint will do.
mine came out so smooth its really effective at reflecting outside heat away and keeping light even around my plants

foil is expensive and is energy hungry. aluminum is smelted in huge electric smelters. use mylar emergency blankets. for the price of foil, you can buy a lot of mylar. i thank you, and the Earth thanks you. http://www.walmart.com/ip/The-Original-Space-Brand-Emergency-Blanket-Silver/15935551

ahhhhh......too hot. pipe AC right to grow. rig it. indoor gardening is tough this time of year. and forget LST for now. if you don't cool things off, you won't have plants. sometimes i wonder if yer pullin' my leg.................

i second that, find a nice bush that gets good exposure, plant it in ground and train it to grow along its branches for light exposure. nothin beats the stealthiness of a bush, never had 1 plant stolen out of one in my life.

I had a 300 foot roll of aluminium film in my shed from my last move. Lost track of it, and it wasnt gonna go in my kitchen after i found a dead rat curled up next to it. Besides, the total aluminium used for the job was perhaps 1 kilo, maybe a hair more. Mylar costs lots more than that. i would need at least 2 emergency blankets worth to do the job and thats pushin $15 Mylar is metalicized plastic, which is un-recycleable. while my aluminium will readily get recycled though my local waste management company.
if i wasnt doin all this with scavenged parts, and shit i already had, i might have gone the mylar route, but adhering it to the wall with paint worked so well i may just stick with that for a while.
