They are some Mexican bag seeds and yeah my ph wasn't right at first but I corrected everything. It's my first real grow with hid so I'm learning before I go buy some real seeds

Dont start over just finish it and learn as much as u can, heres what 2 weeks looks like and im using very little light 150 watts hps i avoid stretch by keeping my light about 6" away from the canopy. Soooo all in all bro finish it out see how a plant grows and what it needs to strive

That's not a bad idea. I swear there are bud sites and hairs like crazy. I will take a better pic when I get off work. How close should I put the 400 watt hps? And it's Mexican bag seed so I didn't really expect a lot just enough to smoke till my next harvest.

What type of soil, do you use nutes, do you have any fans or ventilation, do they get any air exchange in the room? Honestly man it might have a little to do with genetics but they don't look good. Are you using a timer and making sure you don't interrupt their dark cycle? Fill that last pot up to the top with soil and bury that stretchy stem.

I am using happy frog potting soil with the fox farm trio nutes. And yeah I have a timer. I have a fan blowing the heat from the light to an exhaust fan and one at the bottom to circulate the fresh air. I will fill the rest up in that pot. Do you think I should lst like the other user said?

It's tough you said 3 weeks into flower I do it in veg. At this point I don't think anything will hurt your yield. But I think it's too late to train your canopy. Next time do it from the beginning. Topping and lst are great. Here's my last grow so you have an idea of what your goal is. Multiple tops at a nice even height. Pics are after topping a few times first pic before lst second is during last is after.

Since it's my first grow using hids I will plan wayyyy better next time. I did cfls a few years ago but it didn't get that great of a harvest. Since its some Mexican bag seeds I feel like they are going to be tall anyways at lease from the pics I've seen but I will post more pics when I get off of work. You seem to know what your doing lol

I've had to lst in flower before. That's what I would do if I was you OP.

I would keep that 400w hps as close as possible. I kept my old 400w cool tube about 6" away as I got into flower. If it's too hot for your hand it's too hot for the plant and move it back a bit. Just my 2cents

Imma do some reading up on lsting. I know that is my problem I kept the light about 2 feet from the plants. Wayyy to far but I am going to put it a lot closer
