depends on your grow space area and how mature your plants are, I'd change to CFL if that's possible because a flo tube spec is through out the hole light meening if a 4 foot tube is about 500 lumes then you gotta figure that the lumes per inch will drop

see how stretched the plants are? that is the problem. they stretch out like that because they arent getting enough light. most of your light is being wasted by being feet away from the plants.

with floro's and CFL's the plants have to be almost touching the bulbs using lower watts... even with high wattage CFL's the bulbs are still only an inch or two from the plants.

at the rate you are going, you are going to have some really tall and whispy plants and be disappointed.

add more lights that fit your grow area.

yes , if you can get a few Day light CFLs that would kinda help them to stop streching:leaf:
