Indoor molasses and advanced nutrients

Hate to say it but that LED panel wont grow pot plants well at all.... You don't need to get HID lighting though.... I borrowed 6 of those LED panels (same exact kind) from a buddy to try and use on my party cups and they all just started to die and stunt, and all leaves started to discolor.....
As soon as I gave them a 125 watt CFL they took off again, but man was I disappointed by that LED panel..... People even complain about the 1 watt diodes so 0.3 watts is not a lot at all...

See how you are losing the lower leaves on the plants in there? That could be a deficiency but after using the LEDs you have, my perfectly healthy plants started to look the same within 2-5 days because the lower leaves did not get enough light at all....

I would scrap the led and get what you can from it or use as supplemental side lighting and then get a T5 panell or a cheap DIY CFL fixture with around 250 actual watts.... That would be great for the 2 plants you have, at least for now...

Good grow karma sent and I hope you can get some more light on those plants

The CFLs can stay real close to plants, one to two inches at most.

Those 2 lights are better than the LED but still not enough to grow any sort of yield... try ordering online and look for 42 watt bulbs, they are common and a good way to split power 6 ways as described below....

A good way of cramming a bunch of lights into one space is to use the vanity strips, the type for above bathroom mirrors. They're cheap and you can get a 3 socket strip with a splitter like you have already in each to get 6 total bulbs in a small space.... at 6 bulbs X 42 watts, that's almost 300 actual watts from a cheap method!
