I wanted to try growing seeds and I didn't want to spend a lot because I don't need a lot, as it is the 20 or so seedlings I have started now of tomatoes & peppers are more than I can use in my grow bag system,I'll be giving some to my neighbor who also uses grow bags. Neither of us has room for a regular garden, So the tiny grow box I'm using will probably be what I'll be using in the future, its more than big enough for me.

If you are not stuck due to physical limitations, flat white paint is a better choice, foil/polished chrome will not reflect as much total light but will reflect more heat.
