I was Watching Bugbee and he was saying that a bright white surface is all that is needed for the photons to bounce around.
So, the white works. But he can line it with foil to help.

Titanium white is actually very good. Unlike highly reflective surfaces, using white does not create hotspots. 👍🏻

Not halogen. A regular incandescent flood lamp of 100 watts.
2 of them will 10x your light output and your plants will love it.
And you can use all 3. The blurple will help.

Lux meters arent exactly stable when it comes to reading blurple lights. But you definitely need more light. If you cant add more, then move it closer. Move the phone closer to the light until it reads around 25000, thats the height it should be at.

No. Not incandescent. They give off heat and too much IR light. Yiu can add a few spiral bulbs or LEDs if need be but stay away from incandescents.
 
#52
I said Incandescent for the IR.
But yeah, too much heat in that tight space.
CFLs, 2 of them, as big as you can get. 150w (actual around 75)
