I am growing in a cabinet that is about 2 foot deep by 2 foot wide by 3 foot tall. I have a 85 watt Fluorex CFL hovering above, and a 65 watt Fluorex CFL on back near the bottom for veg. Then a 150 watt HPS for flowering. I am mostly concerned about my CFL's. They do not have built in reflectors so i was wondering if mirrors under the plants and on the opposite side of the floor light would work well enough for healthy veg.
Thanks for any help in advance:D

Mirrors are no good for growing. Flat white paint is best.
 
I would just get those circular hoods they sell at WalMart, they have a regular light socket so you can use CFLs with them and are very inexpensive.
