Bizarre - any ideas?

First time with non autoflower plant - a free fem sharksbreath.

Soil - 250W Envirolite in cupboard, Blue spectrum 18/6 then red spectrum 12/12 Planted 7 Sept 10 12/12 3rd week of November , started with tomato food followed by bio-bloom nutes and following the regular watering/feeding schedule.

She has had a bit of abuse, started in a shed - too cold and slow growth, then in attic again cold but then in cupboard for flower, she was topped two into flower due to height issues and I attempted emergency LST which made a slight 'crack' in the main branch\stem that seems to have healed ok and she was doing really well - plenty of bud showing and loads of side branching and healthy leaves. However she had to go back in the loft for xmas (4 days) and after bringing her out I managed to smash my red light and had to go back to the blue one.

Now she appears to have started vegging again at the top and is growing and stretching at the top of each side branch - new growth with no signs of hairs - lower leaves have yellowed and died but the rest still looks healthy.

Whats done is done, so dont rake over the past, I know I am somewhat outside the realms of "best practice"! - I need to know if there is anyway to put her back into flower and finish her off - I have flushed her and now trying 10/14 after reading somewhere that it might help, but this appears to be a rare problem and I cant find much info. Top growth looks healthy but seems to have become a three leaf mutant the further up you go - not sure if that is relevant. No signs of hermie-ing.

Any thoughts or suggestions greatly recieved!

Keep your lighting 12/12 and keep your temps steady 70-80f and I don't see why it wouldn't start to flower for you.
