Also andFirst off, lose the aluminum foil. It's not doing you any good and just holding on to heat. Go up to Amazon and order you some mylar blankets. They run about 10 dollars for a pack of 10 or 20 of them. Just use those and tape or glue to your cardboard. They'll reflect over 90% of your light and be a vast improvement.
Secondly, keep the lights closer as you start out. It's a bit late now, but the closer you can keep the light, and if you top them a few times, you'll be able to get a lot lower, bushier plant that'll give you more in the short space you have.

Also TacoMac is right Mylar is a far better choice. But you can use the foil as long as its dim side up. I know it sounds like the opposite of what you want. Of you reassure both sides with a luxmeter, you'll have more useable light per what ever the measure is. But until you get the cash up use what you can. (look at construction sites tho. Lots of reflective materials).I have 3 indicas and 1 sativa clone under 4 2 foot 24 watt t5's 8000 lumens all in coco with some nutrients is this a decent set up? I'm on a budget i keep humidity at 28-40 percent temperature at 68-75 at night lights off only fans running and during day 75-83 they are at veging
