    I'm currently blooming my 7 plants in a 8 x 5 room I built and I'm not sure if my lights should be closer to my plants or in the distance I have it at right now good, the lights are about 5 ft from the top of my tallest plant

    I have two t5 light fixtures one with 4 bulbs and one with 2, they're all 40 watt bulbs

    You should definitely lower your lights ..... 6 inches is good for t-5

    T-5 has a sweet spot (the middle) i would move your plants everyday so that you share that sweet spot and not spoil one girl. Just an advise ;) But 6 inch is good nuff,

    right down to 2-3 inches

    add another 2x54w in about 2-4 weeks is good

    T5's have very liitle penetration

    so come flowering stripping all lower growth is vital

    also improves venting

    imo: go get a 1kw hps for that room

    good luck
