Starting week 5.
Adjusted a few environmentals this week:
-Fixed some nute issues. Was using too much Bloom Kaos foliar feed without compensating with extra calcium. *Be aware of this if running NFTG line. Causes symtoms of calcium deficiency*
- Ran a flush
-Changed feed schedule to: Feed, Feed, Tea, Feed, Feed, Flush
-Moved the lights up to try and get a bit more stretch.
These girls are getting bushier everyday which is starting to present some challenges while working them.
Trying to keep up with LST to open them up but stems are thick as hell which caused a few breaks (fixable).
Between the overall density of the plant and thickness of the stems I'm having a hard time making progress with the LST. Going to Scrog soon which should help with the training.
Planning on 8 week veg. Really want to get some more height out these girls before I flip them.

Grow Questions
Mad_at_sunstarted grow question 5 years ago
Need input on the growth so far. My node/internode spacing is very tight which has resulted in short and bushy/dense plants. I understand there are several contributing factors to this but how does it impact yield? What to do if my spacing too tight? Should I even be concerned?
Solved
Other. Bugs

obviously you have a good light thats why you have a tight internode space.. tou can try to rise the light if you want them to stretch a bit more, but you’re fine..
i would definitely clean this girl up.. you can for sure remove all the smaller branches that are in shade in the lower parts of the plant.. divide your plant visually in 3 , and remove everything thing in the first 1/3 of the plant.. hope it helps ;)

While watering this week I noticed a fair amount of roots surfacing in all of my plants (pic in week 6 of veg). Is this is a result of healthy rooting or signs of an issue? Leave exposed or cover em up? Inclined to leave as is for oxygen.

Plant. Too tall

I'd cover them up you have fabric pots and if your soil is good you should already should have plenty of aeration. In the past when Iv'e grown in dirt , I like to put a layer of gravel or rocks on the bottoms and tops of the containers. Marbles whatever works but covering up the loose soil with a more solid heavy material is not a bad idea. Keep in mind soil and moisture can be breeding grounds for bacteria and other nasties so I tend to learn towards the idea of covering the medium up whether I'm growing hydro or in dirt. Just some food for thought or one growers opinion but I hope this helps. Your grow is looking great I wish you a bountiful harvest.

Thanks @Weezy1085654.
I ended up doing just that. Seem to be bouncing back just fine.

Really interesting grow. Everyone looks really healthy and happy. You're lucky the 4 plants are roughly the same size. Doing netting like that is a pain when all the plants are different. Did you continue to weave the bud stalks through the netting while she was stretching, or did you stop after you flipped the tent?

Thanks for checking out my grow @Quexos. All through Veg they were all right around the same size. I think a lot of that had to do with the scrog net. I wanted as close to a full canopy as possible when going into flower so any stretch was converted to width by weaving through the net.
As soon as I flipped I just let them go free. 3 of them are stretching about the same while 1 has barely stretched at all. I'm going to have to lift it up to be level with the others but that's easier said then done now that they are basically fused with the net.

I used to be mad at the sun too. Now I grow weed all through the year.
