Or, Google your local water quality report(s) for quality, ph, what kind of chlorine they use...
It's handy info. (if your locals post the info)
For a peat-based grow, you'll want ingoing water to be within a 6.3 to 6.8ish ph range. Above or below that, and you'll start freaking-out the roots and start locking-out various nutrients.

So...you'll probably want a regular potting soil before your next transplant,
some nutrients for vegetative stage, (look around in the growlogs for what others are using with success.)
some nutrients for the flowering cycle, (same as above)
a way to know your water ph.
Other than perhaps lowering the fluoro tubes a tad closer, should be good to go. Effective light from fluorescent tubes is like 3-4 inches. It's quite possible the lower leaves are already yellowing from getting insufficient light, due to the lights being raised. Get 'em as close as possible without burning growing tips. CFL's extend further, but all you'd have to change is everything, lol. Fluoro tubes work, just less effeciently. (I still use 'em for seedlings and clones)
