Hi, I think putting those lights in vertical would be MUCH better.
I mean turn them 90 degrees each..

Hey man I'm surprised nobody mentioned to you that your problem is not enough light! See how stretched those plants are? I see on some of those pics plants that are 24+ inches tall with only 7-8 nodes. For comparison I have plants right now that have that many nodes at only 8-9" tall. Yours were reaching and reaching trying to get to that light. Look in the pics, it's clear as day how bright it is up top yet all the lower canopy and plants off to the side are in shadow, no wonder they weren't hardly growing. The more you raised the light, the taller they grew trying to reach it. Thanks for sharing your grow, I'm very interested to see final weight and smoke report on the Apollo 11 cross, as I am considering that strain for a future grow.
aim-9sidewinder - Yeah I do love the idea of a vertical grow, but mainly what I was going for here was to grow out all the seeds I had left so I would have a variety of females to choose a mother or 2 from. I wasnt as concerned about yeild to start with. Luckily 9 of them turned female because 2 of them I would never clone and one I would only clone if it was my only other option. 6 of them are 100% grade A genetics though. Nice fat, super dense buds just COVERED with trichomes. If I start back up I plan on doing a scrog, but I have always wanted to do a vert scrog in my minifridge with my 150w HPS. Thanks for the input!!

The majority of light originates from the sides of the reflector, which are parallel with the bulb; this can be ascertained by simply looking at the pattern of light shining on the walls and floor. The sides of the reflector are angled, and on many hoods the light footprint can be easily adjusted to suit your requirements. So remember, if you have a rectangular garden, it is important to position the longest side of the reflector parallel to the shortest side of your garden.
