Light distance and Stretch
BobtheBUDbuilderstarted grow question a year ago
Hi,
Thanks in advance for the answers. My green crack auto from seedsman is 61 inches tall and is now beginning to fill the stems in with large buds. I was told that it was to stretched and my light was to far away. Is this a bad thing? I kinda wanted stretch cause more fill in

Looks fine to me. It's all about individual preference with how tall you want it. Some strains will fill a 3x3 on its own if trained right. That girl is fully flowering, so it's not gonna grow any taller now it's just fattening up. Enjoy the process.

Get yourself an app to measure light strength i like using the tent buddy app, its free. The next thing you want to think is temperature light is a big factor in your temp as well.

I've found stretch to be influenced much more by genetics than anything else. If they're getting too big for your setup I've had a lot of luck topping and/or supercropping autos. Topping requires knowing the strain ahead of time so I supercrop if necessary when growing a new strain.

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lowerNow 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine.
Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow?
Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

stretchy seedlingHi i’m growing next to a window with approximately
10 hours of light + 4 hours of light from a 4W led bulb.
The plant is kind of stretchy, not falling over but I added a stick for safety just in case. Is it healthy? Will it be normal and recover?
I’m worried a lot. What to do?

Too much stretch?I’m 4 days into week 5, which is week 2 of flowering. My RQS fat banana autos are 40-50cms in height. That’s too much right? That stretch could make for a poor yield. Should I be worried and, if so, how do I slow the stretch? Indoor, hps, 18/6, 26* high, 16* low, 50% RH.

Suggestions? To tall?First time trying SOG.
Multiple plants turned male so not as much of a "sea" as I wanted. The ones that are left are extremely tall. It feels like they are to tall.
Should I have kept the lights lower to stop them from stretching as much?
Any other suggestions for SOG growth?

How tall can grow Durban Posion in late flowering?Hi, what do you think, how tall can this plant grow? It is 4th week of flowering, and she already stretched out two times in size after switching lights. The distance from light is 30cm. The light is 65W LED. Also, what do you think about bud fattening? More light needed?
