Sharp claw 6 hours after moving into bloom room.

Using Drain To Waste Coco/Growstones (60/40 mix) woth General Organics nutes. They are looking a lovely green. Last night, I moved my og's from the veg room under 8 tube CFL fixtures and into bloom room under 1000's. Woke up 6 hours later and the og's are sharply clawing. Not like a rounded claw. I had flushed a while back and thereafter, used quarter strength nutes, then full strength after that. Last watering was 3 nights prior and the medium was still wet. Since I'm only running two of my six lights in the bloom room at the moment, it was staying cold last night.
VEG ROOM:
temp 80 F
Humidity 45-60%

FLOWER ROOM
Temp: 65 F
Humidity: 28%

Could this clawing be due to the sudden tem and humidity drop? My homie advised me it could be because my medium was still wet and the cold made the root zone too cold and it shocked the plants. The only other possibility I can think of is nitrogen toxicity. But the prior two days, after I had watered, they were fine and we're a nice lime green ( not dark green, which would indicate N Tox). I'm pretty sure it wàs the cold. I am tempted to shut off the vertical exhaust fan on the ceiling of the garage, which will keep the temps at bay, but I'm also worried about that leading to oxygen buildup from no fresh air intake. I am tempted to just go ahead and drop the lights, as I had them high last night in order to acclimate plants to the 1000 watts. Since these are big plants, I'm sure I could with no light burn. That would warm the plants a bit.

Damn, propbably like you said, it could be just pure shock. From poxy CFL's to a sudden wopping 1000 watters could of made a difference. And the drastic change in T could of contributed./ Just keep the temps in the optiumum and it should recover. How high are those HPS's? The sudden intenisty is probably too much for the moment.

Change in light intensity, you're going from 10,000 lumens to over 100,000 lumens.
Change in lighting spectrum, you're going from 6,500k to 2,100k. So you are switching the excitement from chloroplast A to chloroplast B.
