Wow i have a similar problem but dont know the answer... what i did was trim all around the bottom of the plant and got rid of all the crappy little stuff to increase air flow... then i looked down on the plant and trimmed all the large fan leaves to allow the light to get through to the other bud sites. This is the first time i have done this so i am interested to know how it will yeild.

first off, hps is red spectrum.. but if u messed up and meant to say MH (metal halide) , or if u meant to say blue spectrum for the fluoros, i forgive u.

As far as the spectrum , some people prefer to veg with a mix of blue and red spectrum , so its not like it will fuk it up.
