I would paint it flat white which will reflect better. What are you designing?

y i am asking is last crop the plants were big they were leaning into the direct light if i extend the shade it would displace more light around the whole plant u think so or no? When u say cover pots what do u mean

Thats what I use with the bulb straight down. Mines got 8 sides instead of 7 though. Definatly on the right track.
