yeah add as mych light as you can fit in more light the better i herd you can give them a bad with a total black out to help them boost into flower but im not sure about this i wud wait for a second iopinion i just switched mine straight to 12/12

I would say get some red color bulbs 3000-3500 k or save up some money and get a 150 watt hps.(comes out to about 90 dollars with s+h)The 150 will be the best way to go that way you will be covering plants with the light they need.
