ok so im almost done my cab is put together but i just read tht aluminum foil doesnt work for growing... i was under th impression tht it was good now im also goin to have a vent for air flow will tht work or no????
 
There is speculation that the foil causes hot spots and will burn the plant. I personally to think this is true. For the leaves to burn there would have to be multiple points of refection that would have to focus on one point, like frying a ant with a magnifying glass. I think you will be fine.
 
With CFLs I've never seen foil cause burn spots, or any other issues mentioned before.

With HID lights you might run into trouble though.
 
I would not use it. mylar if anything. Also anything that is white in color reflects light
