I'm well into flowering on 2 plants (Haze and White Widow). Haze has stretched the most - it is 39" high, branches in the middle (stem to tip of buds) are 15", all branches have buds (minimal size). White widow is maybe 35" and not nearly as stretched but not compact, either. This is my 5th grow and I did not know that stretching was bad and none of my crops (except one: 2 Skunks) produced any stone effect. (All triches on my grows stayed clear well into flowering - over 12-13 weeks. And all were indica/sativa hybrids).

I did not have lights close enough during veg and most of flowering. I brought HPS much, much closer (~14"-16") 5 wks ago when I got info on how to cool the HPS. I'm using 2x250W HPS on 9-10 sq ft.

Buds are now growing slowly (and most about size of golf ball). Wanted to ask if I should abandon this grow? If these plants are not going to fully mature and/or produce any high due to stretching I'd like to trash the plants.
