T5 or CFL? Extra push for flowering

Growing 3 plants (2 master bubba, 1 ATF)
Bubbleponics system
week 1 of flowering

Here is my setup;

3x3x5 grow tent
400 watt MH/HPS
6" fantech exhaust
2 clip on desk fans

Nutes;

CNS17 bloom
Hydroplex
Rapidstart root enhancer

Here is my questions;

At the moment I have 2 100 watt (equivalent) CFL in metal hoods (heat/work lamps) clipped on to the side of the tent to shine some light on the undercarriage of the plants.
Though, it seems to only do so much. I was wondering if I should buy some T5's to lay on the floor of the tent to help get some light under there.
What's your thoughts?
Would this make any difference?
should I go with more CFL's or some short T5's?
What type of CFL's or T5's should I go with?

REMEMBER THIS IS FOR FLOWERING, NOT VEGGING.

Thanks in advance!​

I would say for your 3 plants, get like 6x 42w 2700k bulbs, you'll be set. That might be a little much but it will be sufficient for your side lighting.
