I have 2 t-5s,12 bulbs each 54 watts a bulb about 4-6 inches from light.the guy at local hydro store says it is genetics, no magic bullet,kind of discouraging me to purchase beastie bloomz. At the other store that guy says it works,he gave me 2 samples of gravity to try.dont know how that will fit in to fox farms schedule iam on now.how much of that do you use?
Your result is all due to the lighting. Nutrients at this point will have little affect on the density of your flowers, at least until you upgrade to an HID.
You don't have to have a HID to get tight nugs.. There are plenty of examples around here that will show that.. You need more light, whether you bring some cfl's or more flouro's in is up to you... The hid would be the best option for the plants but maybe is not an option for you... Look around, there are great peeps and journals that can and will help you out whichever way you decide to go.... LED's may even be an option... The point is, you have plenty of options, look around and see which one fits you...

fluffy nugs have a lot to do with the amount of light the plant gets, but it's also genetics. I have a mix of strains going right now, one is hard as a rock and the other is fairly fluffy. all of them are under a 600w HPS

1296 watts right now thought that was enough,dont know how i would configure a250 hps in between the 2 t-5s,let alone 600 or greater due to height restrictions.I only have 5 feet height between the floor and bottom of shelf that seperates the top from the bottom , top is mom and clones bottom is budding.what height is safe with 250? and do you think it would make any difference? Thanking everyone who responded,and anyone else who might have opinion.

as BE IRIE pointed out there are many great grows using a lighting other then HID's. Rather it be L.E.D,CFL's or a standard Edison builb the key is the proper number of Lumens in the proper spectrum for your grow size.How you achieve that is up to your wallet and wits.

i would suggest you take a look at the last couple pages of matanuska valleys grow journal...it will change your whole perception of cfls...his nugs are far from airy/fluffy
i know it changed my opinion of cfls and im a longtime hps user...my next grow will be cfl only
also do you know the spectrum of your t5's, ive never used them but are they rated in k? if so 2700k is what you need for flowering, wattage is up to you, that may be a slight part of the problem
