End Week 8 into Week 9. A couple more Inches of Stretching. Lights are at Max Height. She Grows much Taller She'll have to Relocate Tents. TONS of Bud Sites so Hoping for a Significant Yield. She's Growing really Slowly but with no noticeable Issues. Feeding Her at Full Strength Nutes every other Feeding. Trichomes just Starting to Appear on Leaves.
@BigDaddyK, I'll look into that. Not very Cold at all. Never any more than a 3 Degree Fluctuation in Temps. She's Advertised at 120-250cm(4-8ft) so I don't think the Light Distance is an Issue. She's just a Tall Girl. Like I Mentioned Her Node Spacing is pretty Tight so I don't think She has any Stretching Issue. She was a Freebie from an Order I Placed So I didn't really Focus on Her Height but She's CLEARLY Best for Outdoors or a Really Tall Tent. Thanks for all the Input btw.
@growsmoke420,the way it has stretched , I bought a 600 watt unbranded from China and it did something similar - my advice get a cheap lux meter and stay about 35000 lux away, also is it very cold at night ? The difference from day to night will give stretching .
@BigDaddyK, they're Unbranded LEDs from China advertised as 600W and I'm using 2 of them. Suggested Distance was 18-31 Inches. One Plant I had Started to Burn when She got within 12 Inches. What makes You think the Light is too Far?
Hi man!
Find a way for encrease delta T between day and night temperature for a frosty lady! You can encrease day temp at 27-28 degree with an heater, or put down temp during night with more air flow! Then you will see snow on your cola!
Good luck man and happy growing!
great job, since u already switched to flowering, will you top again to finish the 8 or 16 cola manifold or you will try to maximize the yield out of these 2 branches, by LSTing them and exposing lower branches to light?
and how much you think you can achieve if you no longer top them?
@growsmoke420, mate i am on the same path as you are, i think we only learn with experiments like this.. definitelly eill be following as i plan to do similar job with my new girla. You can check my destination unkown where i implemented different strategies, mainline as well..
I wish you only the best and invite you to join our group chat on the kik messenger. You will get a lot of instant help from experienced growers, cheers mate :)
@WhiteWidow, no more Topping. Just some VERY Light Defoliation if Lower Growth gets too Shaded. Going to let Her do Her thing until Harvest. NO IDEA what to Expect Yield-wise as I'm still a New Grower n this is My First Time ever trying the Technique. My First Few Grows were Disappointing but I think I may have found a Stride. Got a Girl coming down Today(Best Grow so far) n I'll use Her as My Yield Expectation Marker.
