onions?

Hi!

I have a project in which we are trying to grow lettuce & onions under a light. We have a 1000W metal hallide about 3 1/2' above the canopy. The lettuces are doing pretty good, but the onions (green bunching, in 1 gallon pots) have begun to dry up, in a sense. The chutes are becoming papery and pale. We planted them as sets at the beginning of October and see very little bulb development. The timer is on for 16 hours/day. Does anyone have any experience growing onions under lights? Any help would be unbelievably appreciated!
