contents in my closet

size 5 1/2 ft tall n 3 1/2 feet wide

lights running in closet
1. 25 watt plant n aquarium flouro
2. cfl lights @ 150 watts a piece
1. flood light @ 150 watts to keep room temp up
8. plants in pint size wonton soup bowls from take out lol
all plants are 4 weeks old and their in organic soil and im using 24-8-16

i did top off 2 of them as well i started super cropping on 2 other ones as well.
i am noticing that they are stretching so that is a major concern to me thats why i started the super cropping on 2 of them to see what happens.

any suggestions or advice to make them healthier or to make closet more sufficient for my plants would be great thanks .. these are some pics of the closet n plants

Yeah that is the only thing about LEDs right now. THE PRICE SUCKS. Once they come down I will try emm out untill then I wont. Except for the little experiment with the undercarriage LEDs that I will use under my plants to hit places the HPS wont or I think isn't anyways. I dunno.

I was told that led's were mainly for veg and relatively ineffective for flowering. study it further or do an experiment.

I was under the impression that the plants roots needed to be in complete darkness? Is that true or is it that your soil is providing them with the darkness they need?
