23x6= 138 watts.

Just a note about your wattage. The "equivalent" wattage is a "Brightness" perceived by the human eye, and has nothing at all to do with plant usable lumens.
What you have as far as your plants are concerned is 138 watts of total light.
Can you post pics of your plants growing under this amount of light? I'd love to see them.
