Did you change the lighting schedule to 12 hours on and 12 hours off? Are you still giving her nitrogen (grow)? Excess nitrogen will prolong plants from flowering. And is it completely dark during lights off period? If its not completely dark that will stop flowering also.

Check to see if there are any light leeks around the door. I would suggest getting those weather strips from the hardware store. I usually lock my self inside the flowering room when lights go off just to see if light is coming threw the door. I also have a mylar blanket up over the door. Just for safe measure check your timer and see if your 600w and CFL are running on the same time.

I wired them into the same circut so they run on the same timer as for your suggestion ill give that a go and see what the go is ill let u no the verdict is great idea bro cheers!
No problem!!! 
Actually one more thing, i know CFL's have a thing with glowing when they turn off. Check to see if the CFL's are giving off a glow and how long?. IDK if thats enough to interrupt the flowering but I know its worth a try to see.

Nice! I figure they should start showing preflowers with in a week. They probably have so much hormones build up they will explode with buds. So hopefully that was the only problem

You will start to see flowering no later than its 2nd week. Plants average flowering weeks till harvest are 7-8 weeks. Most will go into 8-10 weeks depending on strain.
You will know shes about to start pushing out flowers when the new growth start to get tight and bunch up and youll notice hairs coming out of her shoots. Pictures below on how they will start to look!
