yup. looks like hes got spider mites.

during the night, the plants need TOTAL darkness. try to make it so u cant see your hand in front of your face(u dont NEED it that dark, but its good to strive for)

Is he using any nutes that have GA3 (gibberellic acid) in them? An Overdose of GA3 will cause that.

and if it does what do u recommend to do with a plant doing this

look for any male flowers maybe

how does he deal with a mite problem this late into bloom stage? i think its been an ongoing battle for him the last 2 months lol those fuckers are crazy end all, avid, nothing worked just temporarily... if he hang drys it in 3 days will the mites go away on their own or does he need to take action and get rid of them now ? i dont think theres anythin with a g3 compound in it ill have him check but i think its all coming down at the end of the week anyways

Stop feeding them GA3. The problem is that if they have been getting it regularly by the time you see that happening its probably too late. The result will be long spindly buds that take forever to finish. The only thing you can do is take some harvest then revege them. If they got an od of GA3 they will do better than normal during a revege and you can just run it again.

I tend to agree, at first, I was thinking fox tailing (before a pic went up) and this is too large of growth to be that...so it's either the ga3 or as you mentioned, there could also be a light leak or someone peaking in during lights off time.

thanks man been trying to find out why and you gave me the answer i guess some of mine just wont finish then because i got 2 weeks then got to tear down growroom
