I would recommend kushs. Particularly purples/grape/blueberry. FGor

Indeed, we are rather blessed around here. Either way, you are right
you will get there.

Nah, and note: for artificial light in your setup, you want the mylar
really close to the plants. For reflecting sunlight it doesn't matter.
The point is that sunlight will still have some energy after bouncing
off the wall across the room, but artificial light won't. Try to get
some low reflective thing going to allow the ambient light in, but
still reflect some of your floro back up/into the plants.

Yeah, prolly more expensive that needed, but generally functional.

I don't recommend this approach for you for now. Keep it simple.
