Your lights are still too high. 2" max from the bulbs to the tops of the plants for best use of the florescents. That's why the stalks of each plant are so long with such little leaf growth. They're reachin' for the lights!

listen to marc benson. 2inches is the maxiumum. Mine were not even ONE INCH from the plants and i had them on 24/7 for a month. Very good looking plants. They stretched tremendously after i put them outside.
