Still think you should post pics. How the hell do 5 lights hang in that small of a space? Show us.

I get bleached white buds if If get too close sometimes. Maybe a strain thing?

I'm quite curious as to how that's working as well, and would love to see a pic. Please, by all means post a pic OP - knowledge is power. :D

The more light, the better. No matter how many lights you have though, it will never come close to being like the sun. With that amount of light that you have, you could be growing a lot more. If you can't grow more, then I suggest have huge containers and lots of height room to take advantage of all that light. Especially since you have to think of energy usage of so much light which also includes more energy use for keeping the heat down as well.
