Lighting question pertaining to three tubs right next to each other.

my current setup is three tubs right next to each other in a small space. one of them has been fruiting for just over a week. the other two are only just starting to knot as i put them into fruiting a few days ago or so.
i only have a fluorescent plant grow light at the moment. its like a 22 inch long light. i lay it on top of my fruiting tub for 12 hours a day. and i move it to lay over the two adjacent tubs for the other twelve hours.
im wondering, being that my fruiting tub is fairly close, (i pull it a bit furthur away but still pretty close) and recieves ambient light from when i have the light on the other two, if that would be of negative effect? these other tubs also recieving ambient light the other 12 hours as well. i started the fruiting tub on its cycle and the light cant stretch over all three, so i thought it would be better to give the fruiting tub a good solid 12 hours of direct light at least. and switch over to the other two for a solid twelve of their own.
i will eventually invest in more lights but for now, is this ok? or is it even just better that they all get 12 ambient, and 12 total dark in regards to 12 strong and twelve ambient?
ill try to get pics tommorow.

It should be fine.
You have seen franks grows right?
Well he uses 2 bulbs in his celing fixture to light 30 tubs stacked in a single room.
His bottom tubs do just fine.
