Hey mate
I would suggest PLs over T5s but to cover all around
the room will cost a lot to kit out and run.
If you aim for 50-60w per sq foot from above
then that's ample without side lighting imo.

A PL or PLL as they are sometimes called are very efficient bulbs, similar
to T5s
If you Google Philips 55w PL you'll see what they look like.
Or maxbright propagation light.
Adding a black like will do nothing.
UV-B is what is needed during the last couple weeks to increase potency.
Reptile bulbs are one source you could look at.
A MH will give you UV-B also, and with you having so many lights in there you
would be better running some MH and sodiums during the last couple weeks,
rather than all sodiums or adding yet more lights.
