Howdy mistersmokealot,

Do you have an oscillating fan on them ? If you did,you'd be able to keep your plants from gittin scorched and stressed by too much heat,too much stress..causes the plants to go hermie..if they last that long under the conditions that you're subjecting them to,the hermie condition does not reveal it's self till you put them to flower.

When I used those types of floro bulbs,I put them in a clamp-on reflector,it has a socket and cord with a reflector,to maximize the light,be warned however,that the reflector gits too hot to touch and increases the ambient temps, because of that,I increased my cooling and heat reduction accordingly,to off-set the increased heat. I used them to provide extra light at the bottom of the plants-not as a primary source of light.

Have a good one...Torog
