Brown_thumb, I am a little confused. You say your plants are too short, and by looking at your pictures, your internodal spacing is quite compact. But if you remove some lights your plants start to stretch.
Isn't that what you want? Plants that are taller? What is your target size for veg? Target size for flower?
Plants with too much light intensity usually won't grow tall since there is no need.
I usually grow 3 foot bushes. And for plants at that size I have them under a simple 4' T12 Florescent. This causes them to jump a bit, usually with a bamboo stake added for strength on the main stalk until they lay enough mass.
