Firstly you have it backwards. The light spectrum for vegging is the higher kelvin, the 2700K is for flowering. Secondly with that much light, instead of switching, get some Y adapters and use all the available bulbs you have throughout the entire grow. Best of luck and please click the link in my signature.

Most autos sex in 21-28 days but since your growing under weaker light it might be on the longer side but with that in mind use the general rule of adding two weeks to what the breeder suggest as a suggested life cycle.

As many lights going as you can get will be the best idea...and they will start to flower usually around 2 weeks or so...so leave the lights just like they are...and remember the bigger the pot and the brighter the light the bigger the plant and the better the yield. ...Sounds like that one song...[video=youtube;MiD_h6Xp4hE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiD_h6Xp4hE[/video]

Usually they start to flower about 3 or 4 weeks after sprouting.
