Hey guys so for the sake of cold weather I have switched to a 1000w hps with cool hood so I can heat my grow tent and light it at the same time, therefore my heater only runs during lights out as opposed to running near constant with the 3 220w Samsung diode lights with mean well drivers, similar to HLG, my question is, should I expect to see the same yields? Quality? Etc? Or did I royally screw up all my hard work! This is my first grow so mistakes were made, I’m about 3 weeks into flower, give or take a few days now this panoram picture makes them look lanky bc I couldn’t squeeze them all into 1 picture

This is a deformity bud! The two stems joined together to make 1 wicked wide wicked skinny stem, thus forming this “joined bud”
I think you’ll be pretty good. Definitely kinda funky looking bud.

The white hairs on that bud are double the amount of the biggest buds on the other 8 plants

I had a flat skinny branch that fused together and formed a bud like that. Only happened the once. Room looks good

You’ll get good yeilds still HPS was the gold standard for a long time.
Make sure there is no power lights on your heater, if so tape them don’t want to herm them.

Oh yeah black duck tape on everything! Now I did add 1 of those led lights back since i couldn’t put the hood directly In the center of the tent so I felt like a couple needed a little extra light

If I remember correctly , my ilgm ssh was taking 11 to 13 weeks from light flip… 
Its been a minute since I grew them , but I still have 16 seeds left from my order…
Start watching for nanners after 9 weeks from light flip…
Out of the 4 seeds that I did grow , all had late Hermies that were late enough into flower that I never got any real seeds…
But something to keep an eye out for…
It definitely has its own distinctive smell that stands out…
And is a very good head and body high…

Just an FYI and not meaning to be the devils advocate but on your exhaust piping if you can straighten the “ U “ belly in your piping it will allow the air to move more freely thru.
Each bend creates restriction for the fan and reduces your air flow. Straighter the better.
Plants look good btw.

Wow definitely something to keep my eyes out for 
I have been super careful to disturb them in anyway to keep from herming
