more economical is car foil (heat/sound insulation) or mylar thermal blankets.. larger sizes, a little more durable and overall cheaper vs kitchen foil. But alas, you do have to watch your temperature controls more.HI!
Really nice job.
To avoid losing light output you could use kitchen aluminum foil to cover the walls of the box. it is an economical and functional solution.
thanks for sharing
If the lights are strong enough you won't need white or silver walls..like you already said. My mate is also growing in a wooden wardrobe and his plants get way better than mine in a proper tent...because he's the better gardener 
I don't really understand the question at the beginning of the thread.
You probably need more information for others to chime in..in case you wonder why there's not much input on your topic
Nonetheless I wish you good luck!

The question at the beginning of the post is, “Will this grow be a success?” Or will it fail. So far the roots are running for nutrients and the node spacing is super short, less than a quarter inch. I found my light meter but there is some rust so I need to clean it up and fix it and then I will be able to give you actual readings on lumens at plant level lumens at veg level and lumens flower level. I designed these LED lights myself specifically to re-create full spectrum coral growing lights. There are three lights in this cabinet, pink, yellow, and full white blue. All are in theory actinic. Right now, I am only running yellow, and only at 60% so the plants root better in dull light, ok?

HI!
I just wanted to say that the light hitting the walls is wasted.
Obviously the plants grow equally well even with black walls.
It was just a tip to avoid waste, then everyone does as they prefer.
By the way, how big is the box?
Compared to your hand it seems really small, or you have very large hands
However, I'm happy to see that everything is going great

Thanks for the pictures.
I was wondering what kind if aquarium like tank you are using.

All the best with your grow!
I'm curious how this will develop.
