Will this setup work?

I just brought in from outside a 4-5 week old vegging plant that just started showing the white pistils. It's about 1-1.5 feet tall and about a square foot of canopy.

I plan on flowering it in a mylar tent with a 100w blackstar led (advertised with at most a 1.5x1.5 coverage) and 65w warm colored cfl. I did this once before on my first grow with very modest success, without the mylar tent.

Now this plant is a lot less spindly and vegged a lot better than my first, and actually has multiple fingered leaves (the last one was a clone and grew weird) and a nice canopy.

Will this set up work? Is there anything I can do to the setup or plant to make it more efficient? Will a screen of green make this work well?

Also, I have a 125w cfl on a ballast but its daylight spectrum. Should I use this at all? Will it be counter-productive?
 
for a plant that small you need not worry about making a lattice assembly for a sea of green. put a round tomato cone in there now as you will need it as the plant grows larger and buds. get a temp and humidity guage and make sure you are in optimal conditions. put in a small fan and a small exhaust fan unless you are running a/c and co2. put all the light you got in there so long as temps don't exceed 85F. all spectrums are beneficial as long as they have a good par rating. good luck with your grow, expect about an oz., maybe 1.5.
