Under a 150watt HPS 1 plant 6 days into flowering. Quality on pictures is pretty shitty because it's off my phone but does that look like it is stretching at all? Thanks for any help, also its bagseed don't know strain or if indica/sativa/rudaralis it is about 18 inches tall now using FF Big Bloom and just started using molasses..

I wouldnt use molasses your plant wont need it with the fox farms stuff especially if your using ff soil. I used molasses in the past and it fried off all my fan leaves stunting growth big time. Go light on the fox farms too easy to overfeed with it. You should look into adding some cfl lighting or some otheralternative big plant for 1 150 hps I have 6 flowering under a 400 watter though so whatever bigger light bigger yield my first plant i flowered alone starting at 22 inches and i pulled 2 1/2 oz off it good luck bro check out my thread for what i got going on.

You seem to have some really nice buds begining for a plant that has been flowering for only 6 days. That shows that your plant is in good, healthy shape. As tall as it is, I would definately try to add some side lighting. It will make a huge difference in your final yield. Great job so far!

What would be cost of side lighting be and extra cost of electricity to run a little extra side lighting?

It really depends on how much you add. Just one 26watt or 42 watt cfl will make a worthwhile difference and you probable won't even notice it on your elec bill. If you can afford it I would suggest adding 2 42 watters so you can place one on each side.

you are def. growing an indica x sativa hybrid... Your leafs have pretty thick blades, but they are spread apart... the thinner more spread apart the leaf is the more it bends towards a sativa....

The wattage of your lamp is probably the reason why your strain is stretching a little bit but nothing to worry about..

The best solution i can give you to keep your bud canopy a little bit more even, is to super crop the plant... you can do this up to 3 weeks into flowering...
It consists of holding a branch between your index and thumb, and roll it around till that spot is soft, and bend it over... Basically you are cracking the plant, giving it an extra little stress to produce more resinous thicker buds....
here is a link to how it is done

it is a true and tryed technic brought to the mainstream by the infamous Soma from Soma seeds... The patron of Sacred Plants:)

Enjoy and Keep it growing:)

nice looking plant, those are big flowers for only 6 days!
I would not supercrop like jahtrip suggests, you would be better off using something to tie it rather than bending the shit out of it, but I do not think you even need do that at this point.
When growing in soil I like to add another layer of topsoil when I hit flowering, Im not sure how much of a difference it makes.

Also it couldn't hurt to give your plant a flush, run plenty of ph adjusted water with no nutes, then continue with your nute schedule the next time your girl gets thirsty. This will prevent any salt buildup problems and keep her really happy.

good luck in your grow!

Is it too late to LST though? since I haven't been tying it down since veg?
 
you can lst them, now and throught the stretch, i personally stopped Lsting in the middle of week 3 and things are going great on my current ebb and flow grow. I would start training now or just not do it, I half assed it my last grow and it just made my colas have a harder time filling out.

I've used molasses before with no problems, just one tablespoon per gallon of aerated water.
Great pics, 6 days into flowering and buds that big already. I hope you post pics of the harvest!
