so i put my strawberry kush in to flower when they were a foot high and there 6 weeks of flowering 2 day but yet they are just 2 feet high, and sum a little over 2 foot, this time around i used a MH as aposed to HPS for vegging, so is that the reason y they are smaller and bushier this time around as iv only vegged wiuth HPS b4 n they usually get about 4 5 foot. or will they probz grow more in there last few weeks jsut like the bud fattens up in last couple weeks ? PS the timer messed up and lights were 24/7 for 3 days max possibly less. i know that would slow them down but will i still get a decent yield , but it will just be dealyed a bit
should they be taller

Without pics ... what's to say except "hope you enjoy your smoke"?
Rule of thumb is that the stretch doubles plant size. you've hit that mark. cn

Well they doubled in size. That's what they do. If it was 2 foot when you flowered it would not be 4 foot tall. Veg longer next time if you want bigger plants.

all depends brO. a fucked up light pattern can fuck up your plants. not beyond repair but it will confuse them which may cause herms. best of luck and as always, stay smokey

I think that MH bulbs keep the nodes tighter, i think that' what iv'e read, which would potentially explain why they might have grown a bit bigger when uing the HPS in the past. Saying all that, a plant will grow as big as it will grow, it's generally pretty hard to comment on what it didn't manage to do when there is little guarantee of what it should have done.
no hermies n thats been 10 days at least.. so how long u think it ,may take for them t revert bak to flower

Pulled straight from wikipedia cannabis cultivation page
"Metal halide lamps produce more ultraviolet radiation than high pressure sodium lamps, which may play a role in increasing the flowering (and for certain plants as cannabis the amount of working substances as THC) produced by the plant. High pressure sodium lamps trigger a greater flowering response in the plant and are thus used for the second (or reproductive) phase of the growth, or they are used by those people who only wish to purchase a single lamp.[22] If high pressure sodium lamps are used for the vegetative phase, plants usually grow slightly more quickly, but also have longer inter nodes, and may be taller"

So basically you'e completely changed up your lighting system yet are pondering why the plant haven't grown the same?
iv only added a 250 half way through flowering to increase yield
