How long have you had them under the cfl ? Are they each under a 200w cfl or all four under 1, if so i think youd be better off getting a 4ft 6 bulb lamp fixture. A 6 bulb t5 will give you better coverage even if you have each plant under a 200w cfl also remember they're auto's so light period shouldn't matter. Theyre going to flower regardless of photoperiod so you could leave the lights on for 24hrs and they'll still flower (not recomendable) if you've vegged for 4 weeks @ least i would say its ok to "flip" i would recommend leaving the cfl's in for supplemental lighting and to have a fuller spectrum. Best of luck to you.

They are autos I was going to move 2 and the 200w dual spec cfl with fan etc into another tent and keep 3 under 300w cfl to grow then could I put all 5 under 600w hps they are all within 14 days of each other any info would be great

If you can keep the tent or room they are in below 80°F then you could use all of those lights together, the more light the better as long as it doesn't get too hot.

I would put them all under the hps and use the cfl bulbs as side lighting if there was room.
