I have a b52 x big mouth that had deep red traps by the end of April and receive about the same amount of sun as yours, while my typicals do only tend to get their nice red traps late in the season.
Almost any healthy flytrap will color up some. I bought some good genetics but They all green right now with a light shade of pink in a few traps

Just be patient. They will color up. If not this year, then the next. And you chose cultivars that dont color up that much, so I dont see the problem. Enjoy their growth and keep them healthy and love them the way they are

No im very patient. If the display picture when I ordered is showing the colorful cultivar, mine can look the same too. Even typicals turn red on outside. But im not waiting for next year. Im showing that the lights are affective on plants looks so far. I notice before I took pic the plants color is sharper now after a week. They're alright.

They're looking nice!

I will say, though, you can't really put a cultivar label on any of those. Even if you're pretty sure about the IDs of the original plants, you can't be 100% certain, and any future offspring could easily be hybrids. You just have a pot full of really sexy typicals.

I can tell which is which plant. And how can I end up with hybrids?
