    Hello i am a first time grower currently growing in two cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other. i know thats not good but my funds are very limited as in i have none at the moment. I am using alu-foil for reflective purposes i know this can cause hot spots. so the first chance i get i will be switching it out for some mylar the soil i am using is Promix organic premium vegetable and herb mix for my lights i have two phillips 45 watt 6500k CFL bulbs and two phillips agro 75 watt flood light bulbs ( theres not much about them on the internet so i'm not sure if they are good at all but they say they are for growing plants) i am currently growing four sativa romulan haze plants and one unknown indica bag seed the indica is about two weeks old the rest of the plants are about 4-5 days old any tips or ideas as to what i could do to better my grow would be greatly appreciated just please keep in mind i am on a very very tight budget. ps i know i need more light but it will have to wait a few weeks when i can afford to get them..

    As i previously stated, yes you can. The cfls dont "cancel out" the leds, in fact they help.
