Has anyone used CPF or Fluorescent Tube lighting to supplement HID lighting?

I have 15 3ft plants growing under one 1000W MH and one 400W HPS.
The canopy is so dense that very little light gets thru to the bottom of the plant, even though I've lowered my lights to the minimum distance without burning the tops.

I'm about 20 days into flower, and have a hell of a lot of bud sites, but many of these sites are deep down in the plant and receive very little light.
I know these will turn out to be popcorn bud, nice for making hash but not so good by themselves.

I'm thinking of using either shop lights or CPF's to illuminate the lower portion of the plant, the lights will be shining upward into the lower branches loaded with all those little bud sites.

I'm growing is soil, so I know I'll have to use a lot of caution when watering and caring for the plants.

What I need to know is will this be worth the hassle involved? Has anyone here used supplemental lighting in this way, and if so was there a noticeable improvement in the lower buds quantity or quality?

I'd really like some feedback and opinions on this before I try it.

Thanks...
