So correct me if I am wrong, but is that a closet you are growing in with a 400 W HID. 8) Great example of orchid grower ingenuity.

What is your source of water and what are the wall painted with?

Bright white paint is better than a mirror-type reflector, and matte is better than glossy. The mirror reflects the light in a straight-line fashion, while white paint disperses it in all directions, which basically means there will be fewer areas left in shadow.
