I have an indoor garden under fluorescent lights operated with a
timer. I heard that using white gloss paint or aluminum foil
surrounding the plants helps, but that glass in mirrors absorb light
to benefit. Anyone hear this? I've always used aluminum foil but I
could get some inexpensive (free) mirrors. TIA

I used aluminum foil on my old 4 tear light garden. Then surrounded it all
with heavy plastic to keep in the heat and humidity. The top shelf was where
I put my seed flats in spring. The fluorescent light's heat caused rapid
germination.
