First week of stretch has been unlike anything I’ve ever seen👀 The plants have already doubled in height which is honestly a little concerning lol
The space between some nodes on the plants is 6 inches or more, which is a little too stretchy for my liking. My best guess is that my night temperatures have been really cold and I’ve heard that can increase the amount of stretch. Either that or it’s genetic. Will increase my night temps to a 5 degree difference for now and see how they respond.
Did an early lollipop as well. Usually I would have this growth removed pre flip, but I wanted to take my clones as late possible. I have to keep multiple moms and I don’t have much room. I didn’t even keep every pheno. I also select for vigor so if I see plants that are slow growing or have think branches, I don’t bother keeping those plants.
Fed 2.5 EC last but am seeing some slight yellowing on the tips so I’ll back it off a bit to 2.
Really praying to the weed gods they don’t stretch into the light🤞😬
@esotaro, yes sir! It’s an actual 2x2x4.5😁 most ppl will recommend 1 plant, 4 max. I personally would not recommend growing this many plants but Im crazy and still see room for more😂
@XII_XII_EarlyRaver, thank you bro! If it weren’t for the supercropping some of these plants would ve been 4.5 feet tall. I flipped them into flower when they were only a foot tall so they stretched nearly 4x👀
I personally wouldn’t flip before day 25-30. It’s different for each strain and plant, but they can’t biologically begin flowering until they’ve got enough of the hormones needed. So even if you were in 12/12 from the get go, they won’t flower until they’re ready biologically.
So keep that in mind, however if you’re worried about them getting too big, it may be a good idea to flip soon just so they slow down growth.
Love it man!
Yo my friend are u using led lights. U realize the actual led dont give off enough heat to harm plants. Heat comes from the drivers and such ..i researched any an every aspect of every stage .....usually u will get wind burn/damage before u get light burn from led... Have fun
Stay safe
Growers❤️💯💯
@2x2growing,i think if it's wotking at that setting leave it.. Wgat u can do is experiment up to 80 watch it 3days until u hit the sweet spot 6inches is close to hang light how big is ur light.....i usually hang around 12 to 16 inch in flower 2y for veg and never up pass 75 ..i have a 2000 from mars hydro very powerful .. My 1000 from viparspectra i use at 100.. I dont have a good ventilation mines is basic as caveman lolol..in a 3x3x6ft tent
@JamMAKEcan, hey bro really appreciate your support and advice. I am using leds and had signs of lights stress in week 2 of flower where one of the buds was a few inches from the light at 100% and it the buds were turning a pale white colour. I have the lights currently at 75% 6 inches from the canopy. Do you think I can turn it up more?
