Color Temperature (CT) - Color temperature, which is measured in Kelvin, indicates whether a lamp has a warm, midrange or cool color appearance. "Warm" light sources have a low color temperature (2000-3000K) and feature more light in the red/orange/yellow range. Light with a higher color temperature (>5000K) features more blue light and is referred to as "cool."

Yeah I would switch your light to 12 hours on and 12 hours off if you haven't already. Does your bulb say daylight on it? Those are the veg ones, does it have an amber or orange color like a regular incadescent light bulb or a white blue color? Does it say soft white cool white or anything like that. You can flower with either of the bulbs, people belive the 2700k are better for flowering because it replicates the sun's color later in fall. Hope you got more than one light on it, get a few more.

when does that usually happen
if it dosnt say on the package,look at the bulb where it screws in, it tells there you may have to look at a few packages in order to get a proper view since they frown on opening all the packages lol
