you really need the 2700K bulb for flower. try shutting the light off for 48-60 hours, the go back to 12/12 with the 2700K bulb. that will kick start flower, and start your 8 weeks from there

they should still flower, event if the color temp is not ideal. are you sure you don't have a light leak somewhere? I remember one guys thread where he has some electronic with a light on it in his grow cab and they wouldn't flower.

for one try getting at least more than one bulb...they look as though they are growin hairs just b patient..pic 7 looks like it has hairs so u should b ok... and u shouldnt wet your leaves the water drops act like a magnifyin glass and sometimes creat holes and burn marks on your leaves...keep the water in the pot ;)

yes will try shutting the light off for 48-60 hours and see if that helps theres no light getting in the temps is between 71 and 78 back to the leaves being burn with the water i never spraped when the lights were on i only did to take pictures so they looked nice. Thanks for all your help plus i may get the 2700k bulb u suggest.
ps what does 2700k stand for i have my old 100 and 25 watt and 6400k bulb.

because when your turn off light for 48 hours, it help distribute the auxins that start flowering. when you start 12/12 the 12 hours darkness starts that but slower. when they are off for an extended period, itll kick start flowering instead of it taking 5-6 days after the switch to start it.
