I experimented with a setup like that long ago so I'd love to hear how this works out for you. The side lighting is great to prevent shadowing. I'm not a botanist but I think light that keeps the plant growing upward is good. What I don't know is if there is a downside to causing downward growth. I had good production from side branches that turned and grew downward to the light. I just don't know if they could have been better by keeping the growth always up.
I like 30 watts per square foot (30cm x 30cm) as my personal minimum and love the added yield when I can provide 50 w/ft during flowering. I think if you will do OK with the CFL above like you have and the LED strips on the sides in the top 1/3 or 1/4 of the height.

Are there any recommendations for a light schedule for autoflowering?I leave them at 24 hours. I start with the seedlings at 18000 Lux and increase it till the 4th week. After the 4th week I have all my lights at full power and the top buds have around 55.000 to 90.000 Lux.Week 1

Viparspectra P2000 and distance between LED and plants TopsDo you you think 25cm to 30cm would still do it during flowering for 3'x2' tent in term of light dispersion on the greatest width of the tent and heat under the lamp when viparspectra recommand 51cm in flowering for a 4'x2' tent

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto FlowersMy autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycleSo Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?3y ago

Wrong light scheduleScrewed up light timing.
Thought I was on an 18/6 schedule in my tent but apparently it was 12/12 from weeks 3-7. It’s close to needing to be switched over to flowering size wise. I switched over properly to 18/6 two days ago and plan to keep it there for an extra week. Yes?

Low budget lightI don't know if this is the right light. I'm gonna leave it for a week but if I don't see any kind of growth I'm gonna replace it with some good light.
But since it's a wooden box I don't want to put a big light, maybe some stripe or bars, any low-budget suggestion is appreciatedWeek 2
