Does using different types of bulbs in the same room take away from each other in anyway? I read that light waves cannot cancel each other out so to speak but can they make each other less effective?
Different lights in the same room?

It's a good thing to mix spectrum of various lighting. Using HPS with CMH for example, or HPS with MH.
The only thing you want to avoid is having to much light intensity where light "cones" overlap.
Another tech that never caught on because of it's cost and limited output is the LEP.
A reliable light meter is handy. Apogee MQ-500 for example, is what I use. Cheap meters measure different light sources differently so you get numbers that are apples and oranges.

I use a mars hydro reflector 96 and a 150 sunsystem hps in my 4x4 tent with no issues hopefully will be upgrading to a cmh and tossing the led for next grow but we will see money always seems to be short lol

That’s my problem moneys tight so I’m using what I can afford. Which is basically some bullshit grow bulbs and some leds.

If I don’t have a meter how would I set the lights up to avoid that?

Think of it as an investment. Good lights, good room, good cuts + time and effort = money in the bank.
