How to Control Stretching: Mastering Cannabis's Growth Push
Stretching is a natural growth spurt for cannabis plants, but it is known to affect final yield. We dive into what causes stretching in the first place and how to prevent it from invading your growing space.
There is little more irritating than an overloaded grow room. Stretching, the term used to describe the accelerated growth of cannabis stems, is part of the natural process of the vegetative phase and is influenced by plant genetics among other variables.
Unfortunately, stretching is a recurring culprit in poor yields and plants that are too long resulting in the wobble of physically unstable crops. Despite the threat it confers, stretching can be controlled by first examining the factors influencing growth and then creating a protocol to accompany these problems step by step. Controlling cannabis stretching requires an understanding of how plants interact with their internal and external environments.
WHY DO PLANTS STRETCH?
There are many reasons why plants are stretched, one of which revolves around the varieties themselves. Genetics play an essential role in determining the possible height of sativas, indicas and hybrids. While most indica varieties are reared to grow in a smaller and denser way, sativas often undergo significant stretches of up to sometimes almost 2 or more mothers depending on the species.
While stretching itself is not harmful, drastic flare-ups on the part of the stems can result in the potential loss of a large crop of between 20% and 30% in total. When thinking about species for your next home growing session, look for the standard size of each variety you are interested in so you can judge whether or not these species undergo drastic stretching during flowering.
@MovingOn, Weeda and I actually started our grows at the same time, and even though we didn't talk about it, we both ended up trying this same technique, or "corkscrewing". Only difference is, mine's a photo-period and Weeda's is an auto. But the technique is essentially the same. I tried this pure LST grow, without topping, to see if I could grow a PP in full with just LST (using the same techniques auto growers use, just with photo-period). Happy to say that both Weeda and I seem to have pulled it off and it's a super fun way to practice your LST. Forming and training her was a lot of fun and I learned lots! I highly recommend this technique to practice LST if nothing else. Also, no topping, no delay and no stunting with this technique.
Cheers man. Sorry for just hijacking this comment, but sleepy yoda is my favorite of Weeda's because of this technique, and using his grow as a guide was very helpful. He has explained how to do it, and I have many pictures of the training process if you're interested. Don't have to leave a like or comment! lol. Just check it out if you're interested. It's the blue cookies girl.👍
Cheers and happy trails!
Edit: OH SNAP, I knew I saw your name from somewhere else. Congrats on placing first for Decembers diary of the month man! Great job and what a beauty! Very happy for you. Continued success my friend.😉👌
@Master_weeda,
The first years after I was brought into this world everyone nicknamed me YODA.
A spitting image with my pointed & stuck out ears. Although my looks have changed since then I still hold the Yoda nickname! May the force be strong in you 😎
@Master_weeda, Very happy to hear that. It's my first time doing the corkscrew and you're about 8 days-ish ahead of me, so I can use yours as reference👍😉. Posting week 5 in two days. Let me know what you think when that time comes! Any pointers would be appreciated!
Cheers Weeda. Happy grows today
Oh man, looks like you're going to have a busy week coming up! Several of the girls wrapping up at the same time👍. It will be a very busy, but happy day!
Great work weeda, keep it up man.😉
11 updates! Nice to see that you have so many projects going on brother. Not to mention all of them are looking really good.
Top notch to all of them and continued success growmie👍.
Cheers
