Yea they’re re-vegging for whatever reason they’re getting light for to long. Check your timers make sure they’re getting atleast 12 hrs of darkness a day.

You look pretty far into flower I wouldn’t throw them out. Personally I would harvest and get what I could out of it and get your next grow going. You need to figure out why it’s getting to much light before your next grow though.

I checked my tent and there are tiny spots in the sides where I can see the light from the inside after adjusting my eyes to the dark room it’s a cheap viviosun 80x80 the timer is fine do I need to get a tarp or something to cover the grow tent

Thanks man for the advice it’s a sad day but I have seeds from seedsman growing in the closet hitting week 4 so luckily I can jump right back into it and now be more careful and look for light leaks or any other probs so this doesn’t happen again

You're screwed. That's full on reveg. It will take weeks for that to go back to flowering normally. And in the meantime the flowering already done will start to die off.

I have the same tent and it doesn't leak. You must have your tent in a room with lights on and the side vents open if you're getting enough light to cause revegging. Something happened because why would they have been flowering and then start revegging? It's not the tent. Something else is going on. Are you sure you're timer is operating correctly and set properly?

Yeah the light timer was the first thing I checked when I saw all this happening it’s being going on for a week I didn’t know what was happening the room it’s in is a spare bedroom I have blackout curtains on the windows and i try to stay out of there as much as possible I own the bottom Mesh vent during the day for the air flow but close them up at night

I'd double/triple check that timer. If you have blackout curtains in a spare bedroom even with the vent open there won't be enough light to cause a reveg if the door is closed and it's dark.

I suggest you swap those with the other starts you have growing. Let these reveg while you flower the others. Then take clones before you flower them again.

I dealt with a total grow room reveg due to a timer mishap years ago. It sucked. I wish I would have just started new plants. I had clones but I just fixed the timer issues and ended up waiting months for the plants to get back on track.

So what your saying is that it actually takes a lot of light to reveg the little light leaks that I see on the sides isn’t enough also in that same room I have t5 lights in the closet for the plants in veg but I keep the closet door closed so it’s not a lot of light coming through I’m just trying to figure out what’s wrong so it doesn’t happen again that was damn near 5 months of growing

Do the blackout curtains actually black things out? When it's lights-off time, go into the tent, and zip it up. It should be absolutely pitch black. If it isn't, you have to find a way to make the room darker.

Thanks for the advice I will do that and make sure it’s pitch black before putting the rest into flower the plant still has buds on it so I’m gonna cut it down and dry them see what I get

Well that changes things. What is "not a lot of light"? That could well be the problem right there if you have the side vent open and it gets a ray of light from the T5. Has the T5 been running the entire time? Or did you just start running it 4 weeks ago? If so that would set the appropriate time frame for the light from the closet interfering with the flowering plants. It takes a few weeks to really show up and by then it's too late.

You need to prevent the light from the veg closet from polluting the darkness in the rest of the room. And tape the blackout curtains around the window to make sure that no light is getting in.

Another thing to do would be to filter and black out the vents. If you're in a room and have carpet the fibers will end up on your buds. All intakes on any tent should be filtered.
