New grow room....help pliz

Hello!!! In 3 days my plants getting a new growroom. The walls are all white and the selin(roof) . The floor ibroken tiles and green (not shiny) I have heared of reflectors, but can I use themon the floor?? What else can I use to reflect the light from the floor and up???? Im gonna buy some additional lighting, but cant afford that right now. Need creative ideas!!!!

Put a sheet of panda film (mylar) on the floor if you must reflect off it.
Reflectors are generally lighting fixtures with parabolic shapes, allowing redirection of light to the plants.

Where can I buy mylar and how much do it cost??? BTW: First time grower....

you dont really need any reflective material on the floor; that's where your pots are

A cheap way to reflect light is to buy some unlatched aluminum ducting from a hardware store and shape it around your lights to focus the lumens. Paint it flat white like the room and that will help.

I have a bit issues with lightin as I only use an 400 hps gib. I need to get more light at the lower plant area...... So I need the light from the hps to be reflected up..... I donr got any paint..... so can I use the aluminum without painting it???

No, I wouldnt use the aluminum without painting it. Cheapest way would to just get some 23-42 watt CFL's for the lower branches. $3 each.
