Okay after a thorough deep cleanse and new pumps and lines and stones and even new boxes, they are in the flower tent, they had a total supercrop. The sugar bomb are the ones at back , change nutrients on a Thursday
Fuck me it’s a stretcher !!! I’ve had to supercrop th3 top
And
YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN STICKYNESS ON LEAVES LIKE THIS BEFORE . Smell is ridiculous
please stop stretching...please... never had a plant stretch for 4 weeks.....
Still stretching, I’m attempting to supercrop but it keeps bending back up !!!
Hi @BigDaddyK "Stop Grow"is a product manufactured by Spanish nutrient company Pro-XL. It's a plant growth regulator that claims to stop vertical growth and induce flowering, not only enabling us to control the final height of the plants, but also reducing flowering time by around a week. According to the manufacturer, this also automatically leads to larger, denser buds and an improved flower formation. As an added bonus, Stop Grow is compatible with CO2 use, for optimum results.
6-Benzylaminopurine or 6-BAP is a synthetic cytokinin, a growth hormone which is used in agriculture to improve flower set and increase productivity. Some cannabis growers have reported good results from applications of 6-BAP but it has its disadvantages, being difficult to source and complicated to mix and apply as well as being toxic and potentially harmful to human health. When it comes to a product we intend to consume ourselves, we prefer to keep things as natural , sativa varieties are very prone to stretching and can be a true challenge to grow to full maturity indoors, as they tend to keep growing upwards well into the flowering period. Over the years, experts in growing these more tropical strains have found they can manage the stretch by keeping the plants in smaller pots for the first four weeks of the bloom period, only re-potting to a larger pot once stretching is over.
48 hours darkness. Ive seen reported for Sativa and Sativa-dominant hybrids is to subject plants to 48 hours of complete dark to help transition before switching to the 12/12 light period for flowering. Good luck mate 👍
just stretching and stretching... :(
So we have gone past completely unmanageable , to what the fuck is going on with this ? This has stretched for 5 whole weeks of flower , nit happy at all
Absolutely one of my top recommendations, taste is sweet , effect is relaxing but creative , tasks will be a struggle , this grew very high , so I’m going run it again , it does leave a lime taste in your mouth
@OGgrows you can’t change pots in DWC, but thank you for the hormone tip , it’s probably a bit late now but I’ll research for future use , everyone says wow BigDaddyK your plants are huge , I say yes but it has drawbacks when you can’t control them
@BigDaddyK, Ok , under the MarsHydro my plants are doing the same , the stretch seems to be longer than usual . Maybe the spectrum of these new lights is helping to promote the stretch.
Good luck with you height management
I would probably chop about 2.5 ft off. I know they are in flower but you will burn the top parts which are close to the light and the bits that will be burnt will block a lot of light because they are so close to the light. At least that way you will get some kind of a result at the end.
Are you sure that you don't have light leaking in? As I said in an earlier post I'm doing the same strain as you but am almost on week 4 of flower and mine only stretched a bit and have heads bigger than my thumb whereas your flowers look like mine about 10 days in? Or maybe you got a dodgy batch of seeds, it's possible as they are very new.
I haven't got a diary here, had few problems putting one up, mine are a bit smaller than yours, first time vegging with led and think I had power a little low, also doing critical orange punch which seem much more vigorous, am I able to put pictures in comments?
I'm in Coco, but all of mine are very manageable, I had a small light leak once and they looked like yours, they flowered slowly and stretched lots, trouble is later on many turned hermaphro. They don't need total darkness to flower it just needs to be quite dark, if they did it would be impossible to grow outdoors due to full moons etc but they do perform best with absolute darkness.
