Turn the foil over to the dull side. Paint walls flat white if possible. Learn about low stress training to keep plants shorter. Get wires off the ground!
Happy growing!
As stated above - prepare to get more light.

Not optimal light but enough to grow yourself a nice plant for personal. Get a couple Hortilux Power Veg bulbs for the T-5s to boost things a bit.
edit: my bad. scratch the hortilux bulbs. You only have a 40 watt fixture.

Alright I'll do that, and yeah I'm not trying to get a lot from it maybe a few grams or even half ounce will do for me. Just trying to test things out at first and I'll get more advanced down the road. Thank you.

Thats a pretty open spot. Like they said btw, it can... it just wont be good 
. Also, hope smell isn't an issue. If it is you may want to think twice. about using that spot. Or if you do maybe build something, not sure of your funds. But you can look at panda type plastic to built a light weight spot there.
Even though you dont have a lot of light, you should think about trapping all of the light you can in that spot.

What kind of other bulbs do you think I should pickup? Something cheap not trying to go all out.

Yeah I'll see what I can do and try to limit a lot of the non used space. It could use a lot of more light but I'm kinda on a budget and really not expecting much from it just testing things lolThats a pretty open spot. Like they said btw, it can... it just wont be good

No prob there. I just mean if you use them lights make spot closed up. Light bounces around, you need to trap it and let it reflect.
If you can either get the panda plastic or some plywood close in that spot, paint the walls white (if you don't use plastic).
You need to ultilize the other spots that you can to max them lights. But also need to make that a box (even cardboard) I mean be careful but it's a cheap method. You want all the trapped in that box and bouncing off the walls (again white so it will reflect the lit and not absorb it) and it can bunch back to the plant. Light you can see that's escaping the box is light your plant could of used.
