You need to flower that baby...Alot of new growers, and I myself did it my 1st grow...make the mistake of vegging too long.
What happens is the plant is going to overshadow itself once you flower...and the 250w hid you have won't penetrate very far into the foliage.

In the future, veg to about 18" and then flower...usually a plant will grow to 36-48" depending on strain, environment, nutes and lighting; After transition to 12/12 photoperiod.

You will find that if you veg a plant smaller and keep good light penetration on the majority of said, smaller plant, then your buds on this smaller plant will weigh just as much as the million little buds you get on your 6 foot tree, under a 250w hid, on which the light has no penetration past 6-12"s.

hope this helps, and makes sense. lw:smokin:
