I've read so much contrary information about autoflowers and light temperature, I'm not sure which to believe. Now that my big plants are popping plump green buds all over, including their main colas, should I warm up my CFL setup with 2700 bulbs or leave them at the current daylight temperature? Some say it doesn't matter with autos, others say it helps.
What's the lowdown, bottom-line deal?

Bottom line for ALL cannabis is 6500k optimal for vege, 2700k optimal for flower. It helps to have a mix of both with more 6500k in vege and more 2700k in flower.

The two big plants keep getting bigger and have turned into bud factories. I've switched them to 1.5 mL Sensi Bloom A&B, which is just a touch above 1/4 dose. Also added a pinch of Pirahna powder to the mix. I switched from Gramda's molasses to Plantation blackstrap molasses, still at 1 tablespoon of per gallon. I also switched my water from PUR filtered to a filtered/RO/UV treated water from a local vending machine at 30 cents per gallon. Hope it's good water.
As for my CFLs, I replaced 6 of the 12 in my Rubbermaid box with 2700. So I have six at 2700 and six at 6500. It's difficult to replace the other six and I risk breaking glass whenever I do. I prefer to limit my removing and replacing the higher six. The lower six are easy to remove and replace.
Will a 50/50 mix of six 2700 and six 6500 (26 watt) CFLs be fine during flowering or should I really replace the tough ones too?

I can look at them for hours. Sometimes I think I do.

Hey peel I am also wondering about this because I have 7 2700k and 7 6500k that I plan on using throughout my entire grow, your plants are looking superb by the way.

From left to right are #1, #2, and #3.
#1 is stunted/runt and started pre-flowering late last week. She's starting to show small flowers since yesterday. She's about 55 days old. She has a few damaged leaves from the hot CFL incident. I even removed one burned leaf that eventually died.
#2 is the tallest and is flowering well, although #3, which is shorter, is producing bigger flowers. #2 and #3 are about 45 days old.
Does anybody have experience using AN Big Bud and Overdrive on autos? I have Big Bud and am considering getting Overdrive too. Thoughts?
