Ok so if your in your veg state that light you have isn't the right light get two 23 watt 5500k cfls at the least then for your flowing use 2700k cfls you can still use your 3500k as extra light but they need atleast 5000k for veg and at most 3000k for flower

Then you need to get some 23-27w 2700k cfls. Yours are emitting mostly useless light for them.

Also good to keep a 6500k or 2 in there as well.

Most def. The 3500k is to like right in the middle it's to blue for flowinging but not blue enough for veg those 3500k should just be used as either backup lighting or use them on the sides of the plant
