I don’t know how you can do that without burning your plants up?
I have a 12 t5 lamp but it has 6 switches so I can turn on 2 bulbs at a time, and there is no way I can even run 6 4′ T5’s that close, even if I have a strong fan on the light. Also my plants turn out super short and bushy like Bansai if I even leave the light around 8″. I have found 10-12″ seems to be about right for me.
I wonder what brand your lamp is and if you always run it this way, or if this is a new set up for you?

How close do you have the t5’s to the plants?
It looks like 4″ on my screen. Is that correct?
my room temp for the t5 is about 75 to 80
