I used an old kids umbrella once lined with mylar.. I would try to add some curvature if possible.

Yea you think if I bent the edges made some curves to reflect it down it should work

I really would. But I have no job right now. I mean I really am on a budget for this grow but I have everything except mylar which I am going to use the wrapping paper method. I have no nutes Any idea where to get cheap nutrients? I have a 12-12 timer some coco and a bunch of other supplies.
I am going to put the mylar on the cardboard box and bend it on both corners so it reflects down you know? And install my lights under it

it sounds like your trying to lean hempy with the materials you have.. I spent around a hundred bucks for my nutes so I dont know what to tell you about that.. my setup is pretty damn small.. I got around a grand including seeds and nutrients plus this damn portable a/c i needed to buy.. If I were you.. I would probably recommend researching your ass off about some organic materials and go dirt. Poke around some nurseries, Garages (suburbia is excellent about fertilizer in the garage)

You want cheap nutes? Get some fish emulsion for veg and some rose bush or african violet fertilizer for flower from your local nursery.
Those wont work in hempy buckets tho if you are going to use hempy buckets.
