I have learned a lot about stretching this past grow. It turns out that I am the one who is stressing the plant out to make them stretch. I tried to cram too many plants under 2-3 lights before adding a much needed 4th light. They're fighting for the limited light. And to top it off, because of the cramming, the plants were pushed up against the wall of the tent. The plants shot up and almost touched the light. To prevent that from happening, I ordered some Cannabenders to tie down the top branches so they don't touch the lights. They were a LIFESAVER! I was able to buy myself some space. I am already in the works of just building my own grow tent out of some PVC pipe and Panda Film. I am too worried about how much weight I have on these skinny bars, that I honestly do not have any faith that they can carry any significant amount of weight. I am going to keep the 5x5 space but I need more height. There is about 2 feet left from the tent I have now to the ceiling. I just need a foot of that at the most. That's for the next grow! Any who, The plants have reached the end of the Stretch seemingly overnight (especially after making some adjustments to space them out more. The buds are starting to come through. While pistils starting to show up. The plants are a nice green color. Leaves are huge. They have seem to taken to the LST nicely without stressing them out. They are really starting to drink up a lot o water. I think I am going to have to check up on them daily now. Feed Schedule is Week 4 Flowering - Mid Bloom 2/3
