Obviously, cfl's are not the best way to go for growing. But in a cfl grow, is it more important for the lights to be above the plant, or on the sides?

Right now I have four plants, each a little over a foot high, and very healthy. However, they are starting to get to the point where i'm nervous not enough light is penetrating to the new growth coming in at the bottoms of the plants. I have one 23w (100watt eqv.) above each plant, and one in the middle of all four plants. I also have two 4' tube flouro's above them.

Should I move the cfl's so that they are around the plants as opposed to above them? or are 5 cfl's and two tube flouro's enough light that it wont matter? there are about 154 total watts on all four plants, 12,000 or so lumens.
