NL#5xHaze SensiSeeds

Another week closer to harvest, guys! 🤤 I have finally initiated the 12/12 lights cycle and I am currently in the stretch phase. As those familiar with or sifting through my journal will see the girls have stretched considerably during the last week. The tallest plant has grown from a mere 9.5 inches in height to 17.5 inches in a matter of a week! That's like a 84.2% height gain. I have used some high-stress training (i.e. super-cropping) to encourage some side branching on the four tops and hey have responded very well and are growing exceptionally as you can see. I did wrap some grafting tape around the areas of the branches were this was performed as a precautionary measure in the even that stems have overlooked splits. Sometimes splits are not discernible until a few days and I just wanted to be extra careful. There were a few very small splits but nothing major. They recover fast 🤗 On top of that I did some pruning of lower leaves and a few odd undesirable branches. I did stop the other training early due to impatience. With this being my first grow in so long and all I am trying to speed things up a little. At an earlier point I was hoping to spread the four tops out a little more to prevent them from growing out so slant. Maybe I'll have more patience next time! I am using a metal halite lamp to reduce stretching as much as possible but I plan on switching to a dual spectrum HPS once the stretching slows down. Enjoy the pictures! 😍
