Then you might want to drop some 2700k 23-26 watt cfls on lamp cords or reflectors without the metal but what you are doing is correct and will produce colas. If it were my grow I would supercrop the tops now since they may have a little growth left in them and get them down far enough to get a light on top of them. Are you comfortable with supercropping?

do you mean enough room to put the one big 2700k bulb on top and remove the 3 32 watts
im not familiar w/ super crop

OK, I misread. You should be able to get colas just fine. At this point whatever you can figure out to get more light in the area is a good idea.

What are growers supposed to do that are Flowering, right in the middle of changing to Day Light Savings Time?

I was on 7:30 to 7:30. I want to stay on that cycle too.

Will it mess them up bad to change by one hour to stay on 12/12. ??

I am starting to see trichs (trichomes) also called Resin Glands on some of my trim leaves. (the leaves that are part of the buds and grows out of the flowers)
The trichomes are where the highest concentration of THC can be found.

The warm low kelvin bulbs make the pistals look yellow or cream colored but they are actually very white.

If you look very closely, you can find and see some trichomes starting to appear at the outer parts of the smaller trim leaves.

If you grow with CFLs and different Dual Spectrum bulbs, the first trichomes that appear are always near the high kelvin bulbs. (6500k bulbs)
This is another reason to ocasionally rotate the bulbs.

I have BUDs starting to form all over the plants.






Within the next 2 to 4 weeks, this TOP will fill in and make a nice cola. (Flower Top)

Let me repeat, if you are growing with CFLs, and properly using two different kelvin bulbs, you will see the first trichs near the 6500k bulbs first.
It is very important that you have ample 6500k bulbs to pull those trichomes out, and are using both spectrums of bulbs and ocasionally rotate them.
I try to position one bulb of each kelvin near the largest colas and swap them around every two or three days.

I was noticing this too. Especially the buds near those huge 200w bulbs (thank you), really getting frosty. Must be the UVB being emitted from them ?

Anyway, thanks for the kind words. :leaf: I got more recent pics for ya. Give me a minute to get them uploaded...
