the 150 HPS is only good for like four square feet of growth. So one small to medium plant, but if you tame that bitch you could get 2-3 O's off a good grow with it.

That plant is definately starting to reveg man, something is giving it more than 12 hours light...either that or theres supposed to be buds between those leaflets that just aint grown!

24hrs for 16 days then 12/12 for flower. here is a few more pictures of the plant. i tried to bend it over and it snapped.:-( hope it will be ok. the rest of the plant looks very good it was just the top part.

I would take that top part that recently broke off and try to clone it.

On another note it looks like its revegging check any possible light leaks as small as a indicator light on a fan. Dark means dark
I would try and stand those T5s up vertical not horizontal across the top.

P.S. A little n00b advise when ya have a question try to give full details about your grow so you can be helped faster. Keep smoking

Haha yeah I'm fine with my 150, I've got it over a single plant right now and it's doing well, LST does wonders for little plants. I meant for the OP's sickly looking plant though. Like would even a 400 or 600 HPS give him the 4' of penetration he needs to get a good yield from his plant?

There are NO light leaks. I know I started off wrong from the beginning letting my plant get so tall. There is no option to turn my lights on their side and stand them up because I have two plants under them and wouldn't be able to get enough light to the other plant. My other lady is looking very good and nothing like the one pictured earlier in this thread. I am def. not going to get an HPS system all i need to do is learn how to LST my plants next go around.

No offense man and Im not trying to be a dick, but those plants ARE getting light in the dark period, they are reverting from flowering back to the vegetative stage which requires them to be getting more than 12 hours light. Do you actually check if the lights are off when they're supposed to be? Checked your timer/s?

Why not just LST it now btw? Dont listen to the "hermie" talkers, it causes about as much stress as moving a plant around a room in its pot...but anyways back to the original point, its getting light at night, thats the only way it would grow one bladed leaves like that, please believe me/the rest of us on the thread, get in there at night and see for yourself. Are you using a heater at night for example? If it has a glowing element on it thats's enough even.

Well his other plants are growing find so your saying the light leak is only affecting 1 plant?

And its hard to LST after about midway through flowering you can't bend that much stalks should be hard

I have had to bend down a runaway top...if the stems are thick you have to be careful...usually do it after a water if you have to...they seem to be more bendy. It's better obviously to start bending them down before they get out of control. Try topping next time so the colas will grow at an angle, then you if you have to bend it's not a full on 180. Also, 4ft is too high with flouros IMO

ROFL! when I read the first response on the threat I laughed so effin hard. I don't know what the deal with that plant is, and I'm not trying to be rude, but thats like a cyclops plant lol. My first glance at the pic I was like "hmm that's a small cola" then I read the first comment, then looked at the pic and saw the leaves lololol, im sooo high and it was sooo funny
