Ok, so a question here...

I'm doing a closet CFL grow: I have five Holland's Hope in a converted dressor under six CFLs, each of them running 46 watts and 2600 lumens. I've vegged them for five weeks and switched to 12/12 on Tuesday.

This weekend has been fairly stressful for them so far: my mother came to visit last night so I had to shut down the lights so the lightleaks and smell would stay under control. She left an hour ago (completely ignorant, yay!!), and my boyfriend is coming in an hour here (I know, all at once, poor plants) so I just turned on the lights to give them some light and I noticed that while the fan leaves are still a nice dark green, the young centre leaves and future bud sites are all a pale yellowy green.

I hope this isn't too much of a newbie question... I'm wondering if the paling is related to the switch to 12/12? Are my lights not enough for the 12/12, or is it because they've had to go without for longer (the lights were down yesterday from 7 pm to an hour ago)? They're going to have to go back into darkness here in half an hour again since my boyfriend is coming here this weekend and he's not aware of my grow nor was he exactly open to the concept when I fielded it in a general matter.

I appreciate any help y'alls can give me!
