I've read in many scientific journals that if you break it, you get 7 years' bad luck.

I've read that normal silver-backed, glass mirrors have a typical reflectivity of about 85 to 90% whereas flat/ matte white surfaces have a reflectivity between 80 and 90%.
However, with mirrors you have the possibility of magnifying / focusing the light and making "hot spots" that could burn your plants in places. Plus glass absorbs a lot of UV and IR light. You don't have such issues with a flat white surface since it tends to diffuse the light as it's reflected back.

So, it seems to me that a mirror would not be of any benefit My grow tent floor is reflective material like the rest of the tent, but I don't believe the lower reflection is doing anything to help the grow. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I know at this point.

If it is possible, how well do you think a mirror for a floor would work? (Keeping in crystal clean!)
Do you think it would benifit from all the "lost light" going to the soil anf bounced back to the leaves?
Do you think it would fail horribly?
Remember:
Angle in = Angle out.
