Hello everyone, thanks for the tips, I haven't got a chance get post lately, but here it is:
Since I haven't found anything viable to make a reflector out of I decided not to hang the light fixtures from the board. Instead I made holes for all the fixtures and the bulbs use the board itself as a reflector. I also cut a big hole in the back for the cage fan to exhaust heat. I can adjust the height of the board via pegs on the walls.
*
Finally bought a pH test kit and the color of the water was light yellowy/green, but more green than yellow. In the chart yellow was acid 6.0 and green was neutral 7.0.
About 4 days ago I acquired some 8-14-10 Schultz African violet plant food so I gave them some, not the best I know, but it was a freebie so w.e. I've read that tomato food is the next best thing off the shelf but I'm not spending *any $$ yet and when I do I'll look for the right stuff. Anyways she liked the food some because almost overnight all the bud sites got bigger and covered in tiny white hairs.
She is 3-1/2 weeks into flowering and this what the whole thing looks like.
I'm sorry you guys for the crappy/large pics, but that's the only way I can post them since I been running this whole operation from my iPhone. Please let me know what u think and if u guys see something else I could be doing to improve.
Thanks again to all of you!!

That's not too much $$$ I don't think, I've spent about $100 so far, maybe later on when I want to divert funds and get the hang of this I'll get it. Or something like it.
