After that haircut it's good to see the comeback. 
Plasma is a good looking light with a high CRI but at 60 lumens per watt it is not an energy efficient light by any means. All you have to do is check out the Photopic Lumen values on page 6 of the technical comparisons and you'll see that this is a lamp designed with 73% of it's energy being emitted in the visual regions. If you plan on flowering with a plasma you have to add a R-FR source which is what Gavita recommends with their dual end 1000 watt HPS lamps to run in concert with the plasma. http://www.inda-gro.com/pdf/MeasuringPlantLight.pdf
When considering the price of a plasma setup, I don't know how plasma is in business for any application, much less gardening, when there are more efficient/affordable technologies, require less moving parts and deliver plant spectrum's evenly across the canopy that one could choose from. Just my .02 centavos

Found an extra 150 Watt HPS for free. New bulb and in she goes. Extra light for flower. So that is 450 watt HPS and 300 watt plasma. Should get something to flower.

Day one of flowering. Switched to bloom fertilizer and gave the ladies a good watering. 65-78 days till harvest which brings us to the first two weeks of January for harvest and 2-3 weeks for curing it will be Feb before I can smoke it. Darn, wish I grew autos and was not so crazy for pruning.

Just think... They could have been stacking em up right now! Live and learn.... They are looking great!
I like to destroy one clone per grow in the name of seeing what works or not. It's really not any more work and it shows me what really happens when you butcher or bend or train or snip or.....................
I can't wait to see stars on your girls!!
