Flowering during winter time! HELP!!

I have an Ipot fem shes about 3ft tall and in her 2nd week of flowering. For being two weeks in she doesnt seem to be producing as well as previous plants I have grown. She has a few pistols at the top and down a few nodes but nothing happening on the lower branches. Trying a new space for this grow under stairs to basement. My humidity for flowering is set at a constant 38% to 40% no higher no lower. Problem im having is since it is winter and walls are concrete obviously its cold, so my temps lights out are around 60 dergrees and lights on not much of a difference maybe 65 degrees tops. So just kinda need some advice on what to do are my low temps resulting in plant strain and not going to produce anything? Do I need to higher my temps? Currently am running TWO 200w equivalent on top and TWO 200w equivalent on each side and FOUR 100w equivalent randomly around the ONE plant to kinda fill the gaps. Please let me know all advice and critisism is appreciated.

It is still early dude. Two weeks in you usually only get a few pistils as she makes the transition into flower. Some strains take longer than others, but around week 4 of flower you really see explosive growth. Your temps are ok, but maybe a few hot water bottles placed in the space during lights on to raise the temp to 75F, or even just a heating pad. Happy growing!

I would add more CFL's, and make sure you are using the proper spectrum. I have a flowering closet that gets cold in Winter as well, space heater solved the problem.
 
Thanks for the input I just moved the grow room upstairs in an unused room closet. Think the cold was really taking an affect on my plant. The sides of the leaves are starting to curl down and under like a joint on the smaller leaves on the inner branches. Cant be over/under water as I watered it 3 days ago and the top is still kinda damp. I replaced my TWO 200w equivalent 2500k on top with TWO 400w equivalent 6500k and replaced all the lower wattage bulbs with 100w equivalent 2500k CFL's. I dont ever use full strength fert, I always use half the does for a gal of H2O. I really hope this move makes a difference as its been about an hour long burden now tying to get another area setup lol. Does anyone have any suggestions on why my smaller leaves are curling on the sides like your rollin a joint with them never happened to me before just assuming thats its the 60 to 65 degree temps. Thanks for the feedback as always it is greatly appreciated.

Curled u leaves like your telling me is moisture stress pal u could do with spraying your plant obvious try and take it out the closet from under the lights while u do so or just raise them a good few ft away then give her a good spray down!!
 
Thanks everyone took ur advice on the spray down CHEDDAR and leaves seem to be flattening out. My temps in this grow room are a steady 75 low and 80 high with lights on and cooling to about 68 to 70 lights out only issue I see now is 28% humidity but when lights come on figure i'll just stick a cup of water in there to try to bring it up a tad.

You're better off putting some damp paper towels loosely stacked on a plate. You're humidity will go up and stay up.

Yea that seems like it would work alot better to bring the humidity up. Thanks again guys she is doing excellent now that shes out of that cold room.
