Advice on Huge Flowering Problem

Hey guys,

So, my buddy got fucked over big time. The house he is renting went into foreclosure and he is a caregiver for 8 different patients. This forced him to take down his Veg room and put every plant in the 2400 watt flowering room. So now he has plants on the ground that have been stressed the F out AND his portable shitted out. So for the past 4 weeks he has been using 2 8 bulb T5 systems standing up until the smoke clears. (Whats happening is another person is buying the house and renting back to him so he doesnt have to move.)

There is a good amount of plants and they have tiny buds on them right now. This week he plans on installing a new mini split system and getting the room going again.

Our question is, since the buds have developed so small from the T5's would turning on the 2400 watt HPS's be a waste? Do you think the buds will grow a lot bigger in the next month of fowering?

Strains: Critical Jack, ACDC, Shark Shock, Flame Thrower. Jacks were vegged for 2 months.

Thank you guys for the advice!

They will swell a lot in the last month. I would hit them with some lights. It's better than throwing them out or getting a small t5 crop.

Give them lots of light

Thanks, we'll fire them up then. Hopefully they don't herm due to light exposure. No signs yet.

Give them light but easy at first you don't want to scorch your buds.

That's true, well definitely raise the lights. Right now we have a 4x600w and a 705 CFM fan connected to the first air cooled light, going thru the 2nd, going around a bend, then thru the 3rd & 4th. Do you think a stronger CFM fan would be better, like a 1400 CFM?

Me personally I never run more than 2 lights per fan.

Ok I'll have to do some testing.
