Yeah, those worklights put off alot of lumen. Just one advice. Keep your hand at the same level as the top of your plants. If the heat at this level is uncomfortable, it's too hot for the plant.

You will know its done when some of the hairs start turning brown and your trichomes are cloudy and amber. If you harvest when all of the trichomes are amber you will have a really strong intense high, and if you harvest when most of the trichomes are clear/cloudy you will have more of an energetic high.

Use the light, but keep it at a safe distance. It is true that these types of lights don't emit the ideal spectrum, but they'll still boost bud production.

She looks very nice and healthy. Those top leaves look like they've sustained some heat burn, but they'll recover. By the looks of things, you have lots of space there to put one of those worklights at a safe distance.

a safe distance to cfls is at 3-5". Looks like you still have at least 4 weeks to go, depending on how much light you'll shine on her from now on.
