Hmm, good question but from my research I don't think that it would help. The penetration of a HID system is much greater than CFL's so the light probabley is getting to them. Unless the CFL are placed on some very low coleases that are not getting any light at all the would be benificial.
At this point, they are just in the way. Let the big gun do the work. There just cluttering up your space as I see it.

Update 4/7/11
I added a 6" fan to keep the temp down and got a temperature / humidity meter.
My temp change from 67 at night to a high of 87 in day, but that hasn't been when i walked in, Ive seen the meter at 75 - 83 and the humidity at 35 -40% and im in there 7+ hours a day
I aslo flushed the plants with Azamax for bugs yesterday. I brought some bugs I caught on a sticky pad in the hydro store and they said I had Aphids, but that should take care of the problem just flush again in a week.
For some reason about 1 leaf on each branch has a stump leaf? But only 1, I posted a picture.

Looks much nicer. Now take that streetlight and hang it outside.

What do you guys think of this feeding chart? I made it based off a House and Garden Feeding Chart my local Hydro shop gave me.

Im turning the lights off for 1 day before my flowering cycle, the lights went off at 12am 4/8/11.
Im turning them back on at like 3pm 4/9/11
Im trying to decide the timing I want the 12/12 to be, I was thinking like 3pm - 3am?
I was thinking mostly at night to keep the temp down
Also ive been reading Gardening Indoors with Soil & Hydroponics by George F. Van Patten that I got at the hydro shop.
What things in Vegetable and Flower books differ from a Marijuana plant?
What advice shouldn't I take from this book and other mags?

i didn't really catch up, but i can tell you you don't wanna grow your plants over a foot with T5's or the node's will start to space out.. just a bit of advice 
seems like you have a pretty decent setup the only thing i would suggest is not leaving the fan on 24/7 nor putting it directly on your plants as it tends to make the buds very "airy" and light i would just leave your fan on while your lights are on to be honest and as for using a 20/4 light sched. there has been alot of studies showing that anything after 18hours really doesn't affect your plant and your just wasting electricity 16/8 or 18/6 sched is the most cost efficient , but if you already have it on 20/4 i wouldn't change it now as its probably to late and could possibly induce flowering but i doubt it good luck and nice setup
+1 my fan goes off when the light goes off. lights out I treat them like they are sleeping and growing I want as little distractions as possible.

I have several fans running in my room.
Ive got one circulating my plants, one blowing in, and the fan cooling my light.
I was thinking about turning the fan on the plants and the fan cooling my light off at night
Good idea?
I know having a fan on them can make airy buds but how much is too much?

Ask yourself this; does the wind stop blowing at night?
You don't want your circulation fan blowing directly on your plants. The goal of circulation is to mix the air. Good circulation eliminates high humidity at night, when humidity rises, especially as the density of the buds increase. You are trying to recreate the effect of outside air movement; gentle but incessant.

How can you change the humidity in the room?
Does the air flow effect that?
My humidity is about 35 - 40%
I just went into flowering whats the recommended humidity?
Ill keep the 2 fans on 24/7 and the fan cooling my light. ill turn it off 30 mins after the light goes off

I flushed all 4 of my plants with 5 gallons of AzaMax on Tuesday.
I need to flush them again on Tuesday but I also want them to get nutes as well.
Can I flush 5 gallons of AzaMax then add 4 gallon of nutes with a pH of 6.3?
Also I read that during flowering plants prefer a pH of 5.5 - 6.0, is that true?

How can this be? Im in the Orange County CA area
I was running my lights 20/4
I just switched them to a 400watt HPS for 12/12
The bill is causing people to question

Okay thanks guys
Let me see if I got this right
$661 - Bill
2,418 - kW/h Used
$.27 per kW/h
400 x 20 = 8000 = 8.00
8.00 x 31 = 248
248 x $.27
Total $66.96
That's only for the 400watt

hmmm any suggestions to keep the bill down?
Im thinking since in running my lights at night the temp stays down so I can run my fan from 10pm -1am then 8am - 10am

looks like some serious PMS going on there 
(Plant Moisture Stress)
hard to figure whats wrong with plant 3,4 other then moisture stress from the flush..
i too would recommend starting from scratch with a sterile everything.
from what a have seen those plants are gonna have a tough time flowering.
it seems like your on the right track with nutes, light, neem.
i think i would off plants 3,4 and focus on helping the decent looking plants.
do you have any experience with cloning? i would use plants 1,2 as mothers, clone them and veg, then bloom clones.
good luck
