Every week I’m more and more stressed about the size of the plants, as I can only lift the light up about another couple of inches. Next grow I’ll do a better job of tying my stems down early in veg to promote a more even canopy, along with flipping to flower around week 5.
At this point my stems are too thick so if I try bending them down to lower the canopy they’ll snap. Do any of you have any suggestions as to how I can work through this issue?
A fantastic strain!! I’ve grown it twice now and loved it both times. After the first run, I went to an outdoor concert with two joints. I stoned out a buddy of mine and then right as the main act was about to start, I fired up the second joint and some guy comes up offering his vape pen in exchange for a hit because it smelled so amazing from afar. Turned out I knew his wife who walked up and we all laughed and smoked and enjoyed every last bit of that joint. It’s one of the few plants I’ve grown to force me to sit down after a big bong hit. Good luck with your grow!!
@SMOKIN_BUDZ, haha I started growing in a 1 gallon bucket - never got any decent results though. Switched to Soil but I missed it and saved up some $$$ so I could make the move to a more legit system. Couldn’t be happier with the results this far, as this is my first grow in this system! Cheers buddy!
Im sorry you are running out of room! I have the same issue with DWC making my plants grow super good LOL. I just chopped down a few plants because they stretch too much for my low height grow room. Ordered yet another strain thats supposed to be short but again this DWC shit is off the chain if done right. Best of luck there.👊
If you have problems bending stems over, squeeze the stem and crush the insides and carefully bend over. If you dont do this they will just snap like you have been experiencing.
@Thundrfuk, thank you sharing! I’ve been reluctant to try anything like that in flower since I don’t want to risk stunting their growth, but then again I don’t want them growing all the way up to touching the lights lol 😂. I’ll give it a try!
Keep a fan on canopy while lights are on. I think your stretch is pretty well over with this week as it is week 4 of flower roughly. My suggestion would be to keep your temp as cool as possible and to just ride it out. If anything grows tall enough where it's touching your fixture just chop er off and cut losses
