Stealth Box, Will these lights w/ this setup work?

Im a first time grower, even though ive had this setup in my room for close 2 a year, just haven't had time 2 put it 2 good use. In my room i have 2 boxes on top of one another with the bottom of the top cut out and the top of the bottom cut out, so when placed on top of each other there is a cavity between which is about H26 L36 and W18 and looks like this: Attachment 35349
Attachment 35348

Inside i have 2 lights boxes, 1 of them is a 2 tube "20" Aquaglass Aquarium Pre-heat 15w" this is all i know cuz its on each of the tubes. and also another which is a 4 tube" 20" Aqualife 96watt 50/50 (im not sure what the 50/50 means but im pretty sure it has something 2 do w/ 2 of the lights being blueish when they are on) Are these lights adequate for what im trying 2 do? Here is what they look like Attachment 35346
Attachment 35347

My overall question is, will these lights grow what i need inside the box? will they do the trick? Thanx for your post and help*

Hey. I used to be a supervisor at a pet store that sold those same lights and i wish to tell you that you may run into problems growing marijuana with them. The lumen output of those bulbs are low (dont remember the actual number) and the spectrum is very broad. The idea with aquarium bulbs is to show off colours of the plants and fish, not necessarily to accelarate plant growth. The bulbs heavily relay on water's ability to intensify the light passing through it. I also believe that those lights get rather warm.

You should look into replacing them with a normal GE Cool White bulb (looking for the highest lumen count and least amount of wattage --detection--). I use them in my grow and the provide enough lumens when combined with the tinfoil on the inside of the box causes a super bright growing space.

Check out my grow and best of luck with yours. I will be by to see how yours progresses.

FLEX
