NOOB CABINET
You might as well ditch the smaller stuff.
The 60w bulb is really only usefull to act as a litle heater if your grow room gets chilly in the winter. It seems like you have it all the way at the top of the set up? Not gonna work all the way up there. Your basic idea, when working with flouros and other low wat lighting, is to keep the lights no more than 4" away from the plants at all times, from what I know from growing with them for a few years when I used flouros for flora. Thus, you will want your lights to be adjustable, in order to move them up and down, accordingly. I used to try keeping them real close and kinda far. In the end, I learned that you want hem about 3 or 4" away from the plants for best results.
I've seen people actually rear a plant off of a 60w bulb, however. But, its really not worth the half a year wait for less than an ounce you will get. With your setup, it almost looks like your bulbs are going to be too far away to inspire phenomenal or even basic growth, considering their low wattage. I mean, you might still be able to get all of that to work without really changing anything... Just expect it to take about 6 months per 1/8 ounce of bud.
