I will be growing one to two plants under a 250w HPS and a few CFL's in a cabinet fully lined with mylar and was wondering if a reflector would really help that much ? I ask because the HPS is in a home made cooltube and is about 12 inches at most from the top of the cabinet. I know it wouldn't be that hard to add a reflector but I'd rather not buy one unless it's really necessary. I guess my big question is how much light will I potentially lose from not having a reflector considering my current setup?
