Great posts guys. I have heat issues also thats why i started using t-5's ho lighting. With an 8 bulb i can finish 6 auto's and acheive great yields and nice dense nuggs. That being said ive seen some amazing cfl grows. But the relative ease of t-5's make them my choice of lighting.
 
Woke up on day 30 now and still just preflowers with no hairs yet :( This is my first auto grow so I am really nervous that for some reason they wont flower. Even though i know that getting preflowers at day 17- 26 is not normal for non autos but i would have figured they at least would of released the preflowers hairs! I will give them another 10 days till I do any thing but if they don't start to go into flower mode by day 40 should I revert the light down to 16/8 or 12/12 ?
 
If you're past day 30 and have no evidence of flowering, switch to 12-12 lighting.
Your so called "autoflower" probably isn't one
but thats why i kind of dont understand because my male showed sex at day 17 and my females showed their preflowers (not hairs)at around day 23 to day 26 but only on a couple of nodes. The male hasent changed much and is not flowering at all beyond the small preflower stage.. so if they are in fact non auto then why the hell did they throw out preflowers so damn early?

Well it is now day 33 and pistols are starting to come out of the preflowers so my guess my so called auto is really an auto... thanks for the help
