is there an advantage to height or width? Because I am not necessarily worried about height. I have 6+ feet of available growth up.
I am also able to take my light fixtures and move them around my plant because they are individual and have clips.

you can maxmise light penetration if the plant is low and bushy

your welcome, i use a 125w cfl for seedlings but found that if i shove em under 600w hps they grow a shitload faster, and bushier.
would maybe consider a big cfl for flowering the ladies, the more light the better for flowering

i would position your compact florescent lights 4-6 inches from your plants. how close are your LED lights to the plants? in vegetative growth you want 6500 kelvin, for flowering you want 2700-3000 kelvin. your plants would benefit from more intense lighting then you are giving them. consider a high intensity discharge light metal halide bulb for vegetative growth and high pressure sodium bulb for flowering. if that is not an option then consider either more powerful compact florescent lighting for your plants.

why not get a light mover and make a sog using a 250w mh/hps might cost a good bit but in the end you would have good bud and make your money back in no time on money saved from buying, maybe setup a perpetual 2l hempy once youve got a bit more knowledge

sog = sea of green, perpetual means adding plants every week so you can harvest every other week and hempy is just another style of growing with soilless medium
you want a daylight (6500 kelvin) compact florescent light bulb for vegetative growth and a warm kitchen/bathroom (2700-3000 kelvin) compact florescent light for flowering.

SUNDAY NIGHT UPDATE!
Alright, so as you can see that the left fog is no longer drooping. I fixed it by simply adding a light into the back corner to face it.
My soil's have been trained down and are growing splendidly.
My Ebb and Flow are still growing nicely, I moved the middle plant from my aeroponics to the ebb and flow because the roots are looking better than the ebb and flow original (right side) that I had, so I moved that one to the aeroponics to make the roots grow better.
As for the rest of the aero's, my left one is growing real tall...real fast.
