I don't know the time course of how light intensity affects flower size.

I think with the same intensity that accelerates the vegetative process. I could measure it but I'm only going to decrease it a bit, it's not the same in summer as in winter. The flowering lasts longer inside the house than outside because outside with the heat and intensity of the light, the fastest growing activity begins, this I have experienced with mine. I am hopeful that the problem of small flowers has a solution in which they are forming. Greetings.

Well I've gone ahead and changed out 2 of the higher intensity bulbs and replaced them with slightly lower intensity bulbs. These light bulbs are expensive ( for me anyway), so if I'm going to make a change I'm going to have to do it gradually.
