Umm start adding molasses to your watering once the plant is in full flower.

And as for nutes I would start at the lowest possible and give it nutes 2 time a week, like a Thursday and Tuesday or something.

just do what you've been doing just diff nutes and light cycle and never interrupt the dark period.

The 6500k lights will not be as effective during the flower cycle as they were during the veg cycle. You need lights more in the red / orange range of the spectrum I.E. those 2500k lights or something like that. Can you spend 100$ on a light? If so get a HPS / MH light off ebay and you will be good for a long time. The MH light bulb is used during veg the HPS is used during flowering good luck.

Yeah your lights are fine for veg, but you want a lower spectrum around 25-44 k would be best. HPS is perfect for flowering, but they are a little pricey if your not looking to spend more than 150. I wouldn't start to add molasses to the last few weeks they will not need it early on.
Just using some bloom nutes, i.e higher p than n and k ratio is the best for flowering.

yeah i kno about the color spectrums. um how about would my plant not grow as much taller if i have less 6500ks in the box or will it grow about the same height difference just more light put to it? and no as of right now i dont have the money or the place for a hps light. i just moved into my new house and i had to go stealth with it. for awhile at least. but i cant hang a hps up in my closet for now just incase my landlord ever needs to fix somethin in my house dont need em to see it. but i am having a little heat issue as of right now. i need more exhaust and intake fans i only have one of each and for some reason its still reaching in between 85-90 idk why. and thats only with one 6500k and one 2700k in it right now. i cant imagine with all of em in there at once.. any suggestions?

If you can't get a HPS light then you can probably just change most of your smaller lights to "warm" fluorescents (cfls) You apparently want a mix of the blue and red spectrum during flowering, I am getting a HPS now but originally I was just going to change my light bulbs from "cool" 6500k lights to mostly "warm" 2500k lights. I was going to change 9 of my 16 bulbs but I am just a newbie and have no idea what sort of mix you should aim for.

As for nutrients just hit up a nursery and tell them you need some fertilizer for plants that are about to start "flowering". They will lead you towards something with approximately the correct values of N-P-K in it.

um well i dont know for sure but i thought the warm whites produce more heat than the cool whites.. right? lol it sounds like it

I am willing to bet more heat will be created by the warm colour ones. Isn't kelvin a measure of temperature? I am a newb myself bud but I would just switch over at least half my lights maybe 2/3 to the warm ones, definitely leave some blue/white though don't get rid of it completely. If heat builds up a bit cut holes, fans, etc.. etc...

*edit
That is when flowering just go pure 6500k for veg.
