Hadn't considered the temp differential as a problem. I have assumed that as long as it stays as close to 70 as possible I'd be fine.
The good news is that lowering the lights is something I CAN do. I placed them where they are for two reasons: I figured the blue dream to reach a height of about 8' but it stopped at 5'6 oops! Lol.

You allways want to keep your light as close as possible to the plant allways and go up with the light as the plant grow's , you can't put the lamp in its "final" position and wait for the plant to grow , cause by doing that you are doing one thing ..
you are making your plant putting an effort and stretching for the light..and as a result of that you have 2 more downsides..
you stems will became weak and also your plant is wasting precious energy that should be put in bud sites among other things like growth rate is largely affected,... you want bushy plants not stretched skinny plants. A common error in indoor growing is thinking only in the flowering and forget the importance of a good vegetative..
A plant with strong steams will put on more weight than a skinny plant with weak stretched stems ..

This was in the last 3 weeks that I raised the lights as I was out of clearance where they sat at About 7ft. Understood about the stretching for the light. Another thing I hadn't considered in my haste to set up a space after completely disassembling my previous arrangement.. ugh. Thanks for the input I'll drop em down for these last days of flowering. The blue dream has like 60% or so cloudy trichs. I'm going for the indica properties-trichs so I'm pretty sure I'll leave that one another week for sure, but will keep my eyes on the trichs n go by them for sure.
Hey, side question:
To what degree might it shock the plant to cut off a smaller lower branch? ... how bout the smallest bottom 4 or 5?
Thanks for your help so far, I appreciate it!

well when it comes to a healthy plant , some growers even make their harvest by parts leaving the lower buds to rippen more. but if your plants aren't healthy to start i guess you will maybe input more stress into it .
but i can't give you a accurate awnser about that.

and about the trichs trichomes they can stay cloudy for long , i allways try to harvest with 10-15% amber and the rest all cloudy ...
You will allways have a few clear , but thats normal..
Cutting down weed that isn't mature will get you disapointed :X

Watch out for your temps when you drop your bulbs , if you have a fan blowing air on them u can go 85F max.
