I've got some info for you - you can expect amazing results.... amazingly small buds for the loot you shelled out.
I agree - they're great... for growing pathetic, spindly, weak-ass plants.
Al's lux meter does not lie. It's undeniable, empirical evidence & it eviscerates your pathetic fanboy hypothesis.

Indeed.
NO
Normal aging process for a plant reacing maturity. This is desirable because it signifies that the plant is using up its nutrient resources in the soil. This means you won't be smoking nutes - plant should not be totally green when you harvest.
What strain are you growing? Indica-dom...
1 strain = more uniform behavior & finishing time
multiple = less ability to "dial in" plant needs/likes & random finish times
BUT
variety is the spice of life
my understanding (from what I've read here & elsewhere) is that you should expect to increase your flowering time approx. two weeks using CFLs (as opposed to HID systems)
in the end, let the trichomes guide you.
