How do these babies look for 2 weeks into flowering? Opinions?

2 weeks into flowering, and I have kept the same grow micro bloom pH perfect lineup, with a little extra bloom, I'm hoping they aren't smaller than they should be. I will be buying overdrive, bud candy, and bloom a and b ph perfect from AN by wednesday, just waiting for a pay check.

6- 5 Gal. DWC Buckets with a 112-watt 110 LPM air pump with massive air-stones, 2 each.

HSO Blue Dream sprouted in Flora root plugs (They seem to be better for newbies, I had trouble with over-watering rock wool).

a 1000 watt light with a small air-cooled hood that keeps them pretty cool.

I did a technique that I thought was SCROG, turns out its a new method (apparently) that involves letting them grow massive, then tying down the entire branches, LST'ing them to a net, and letting everything turn back towards the light. Here's what they looked like right before flowering:

With blue dream I hear in the end of flowering you can get them blue by dropping the temps, I can drop it to 50 degrees if I want overnight by just keeping the fan on after the light.

BTW! Do you think I'll run into height issues at that stage in budding? I can raise the light another foot past what it currently is, and the bulb is kept EXTREMELY cold, so only light burn is really an issue at hand. Will that happen? Will the buds get singed at the top?
 
Thanks guys. Another question though, judging by the last picture I added, of the whole tent...and assuming only bud development from this point on (I've noticed no stretching), then should I be okay? Assuming I can actually raise the light another 1 foot from where it is currently at? Will I singe the tops of the buds? Will my yield be drastically affected?

Thanks!

I gradually raise my lamp as budding time increases. I also wouldn't let your temps get below 55. I drop to 58 to help bring out color and make the plants realize it's almost over for them. They get nice and frosty.
 
Yeah I was hoping to get them real blue. The dispenciary in my town has had extremely dank blue dream once, that was extremely colorful...the last stuff I picked up from a different collective was extremely dank too, but it was just normal looking. And I think your right about them getting frosty, it makes sense. If they sense they are about to die if temps keep dropping, they'll no doubt fatten up fast. But when should i trigger the cold?

I was thinking about when I do my flush, use Final Phase week one of flush, then flush with distilled water for another 3-7 days, and during THAT time initiate cold overnight temperatures. Do you guys think that would work good? I'm going for extreme quality if I can. Its my first grow, but I've dedicated a lot of time and money into it.
