@ivik80, thanks buddy! Should be good in a couple of days so I'll give a report then. Can't wait!

Got some plants (random seeds) just like this (though I doubt they're autos or whatever you got there, since they've been growing for quite a bit longer) that grew through winter/bad conditions. I don't even bother with them. They really don't like low light conditions. Probably suited for like the desert. Semi-random info for future reference. These are the sort of plants you might want to consider biasing your nutrients with. Consider that they have very thick leaves and small size (likely for water storage, minimizing exposed surface area, like succulents, as these sort of plants are often found in very hot/dry areas) and short node spacing and lots of overall density, so you might want to lower potassium and node related stuff a bit. Also, you could look at certain growth hormones, I think it was gibberillin (assuming you don't increase auxins too) which causes plants to stretch a bit (could be useful). Dunno if it'll be useful, but that's some of the sort of stuff I'm considering when I plant their offspring. If not, hybridize them further since they're super inefficient in most conditions here.

@Gr33nFi3ld, Ah sorry, no specific links about the info, thousands of documents, articles, forum posts, etc. It's generally pretty obscure research. I wouldn't necessarily say that I know what I'm talking about (some things, sure), but I've read a lot and have at least a little experience growing these plants.

@@Ssomeguy, coconut water?? Shit! I've got that in abundance here. I'll do some research to see how much I should add to my feeds to get a bit stretchier. Could be my lights were too low before and since then I've raised them significantly cuz of a big sativa dominant taking up all the vertical space. Definitely sounds like you know what you're talking about. I'm weak when it comes to the knowledge behind all the botany knowledge. Mind if I ask where you got the info from so I can start reading up? Thanks again for the help man. I'll definitely follow med in tropic.

@Gr33nFi3ld, Uh, I'm not sure hey, since I haven't actually specifically used it. And there are quite a few growth hormones and regulators. But a guy I know (med_in_tropic) used some coconut water/milk (far too much, by his own admission) and he got very stretchy plants. "Coconut milk (coconut water) is widely used in tissue culture because it contains (A) Auxin (B) Cytokinin (C) Ethylene (D) Gibberellin. " All 4 of those are growth hormones/regulators. Unfortunately I can't actually recommend dosages or anything like that and I don't know relative amounts of those things in the coconut water, but for the purpose of stretching a bit of extra gibberellin is probably the interesting stuff. Those growth regulators are usually the sort of thing you use very little of and try to be careful with. About the potassium, I'm kinda guessing about it, based on my understanding of how it's used in the plant (as in, it's constantly reused and not a building block like nitrogen or carbon) and reading about node count/spacing related to it. Since those are small plants (relative to say a typical sativa) it might end up with too much potassium. It's not like 100% sure info, a bit of guesswork that might be relevant to those sort of plants.
