Lighting Problem PLZ HELP!!!!!

I just switched to flowering 3 nights ago so i flipped on the 150w HPS for 1 plant. HPS is 8 in away from plant top. Temp is 85-86, Humidity, ph, nutes and everything is OK to PERFECT. The problem is i'm using 2 100w cfl as side lighting, so the right side branches are getting light from it, and the leaves are straight (normal). But the rest of leaves on the plant are all droopy, like its not getting light at all. Does it tak a while for the plants to get used to the HPS or wut. First time using HID lights, always used cfl and flourescents, and ive never had this problem before. Thank you in advance for the help :)

PS: ill try and post pics soon!!

Sry lights are on darkness so ill post pics tmrw mornin. No, my grow box is well ventilated, i just thought the light has to be a bit far. My hand is fine until 4 in, so ill move it up to 4 - 4 1/2 in. from top tmrw....

Simple, the cfls as side lighting will cause droop, raise the cfls above the plants and they should regain vigour in 1- 2 days.
