That's a lot of excess light for sprouts.

Ya know, I'm new to this like you are... I'm not really the one to be asking but I wish I could help ya out more. But I'm thinking that you probably could use a lot more light on your plant that's flowering.
And TeaTreeOil, I've read over and over again that you can't really have too many lights as long as there is no burning and the temp is staying within an adequate range. Is that not correct?

Well, there's just no way sprouts can use that much light.
That's 12 26w bulbs, from the looks of it. 312 watts? I've seen two dozen plants growing(vegging) quite healthy(under 1 foot tall) using half that wattage.
