Limiting Stretch
AGrowerNotAShowerstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hello growers! I have three plants that are currently in their stretch and are getting too wide for the tent. If I were to slightly bend some of the cola branches towards the center to try and make the plant a bit more compact, would this hurt them in any way? Thanks in advance.

It would reduce the amount of light that gets to your lower bud sites. The plant should train it's self if it gets to the edge and will just start growing up anyway. I'd just let them grow! 🤟😜

Hi.
I have experimented with bending the cola branches, with success. I bent them a little bit but from 2-4 places like 5-10 cm apart. You can see it in my diary
in action. Those branches did not slow at all, and are producing fatter buds than those around.
You can scroll through the pics if you feel like it. The bent are in the middle of the screen.

Be gentle, soften the tissue first with wiggling it abit between your fingers, then bend.
Bending during flowering is a no no for many, I found an ok for it from a high times pro tips-list. So I tried it, it works.

You can but don't really need to... Removing some of the biggest fan leaves and lowest growth will help a little though 🌱👍

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.

I just flipped her two days ago and she started growing a bit faster. And looks quite bushy down there.
Should I do it now before she started growing buds? Or should I wait a bit? Or no need to do that at all?

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Fall RecoveryHow is the seedling looking? She took a fall yesterday afternoon and I immediately rescued her as I could and repotted into final 3 gallon fabric pot (actually 5 gallon but only had enough Coco Loco for 3 gallons). Thank you for the read, happy growing and learning. :)

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Ready for flushing?It’s my first grow and I’m not quit sure if I’d already flush the plant. And how long do you all think I should keep it growing from now on?
As autumn already hit and the weather will be cloudy and not warmer than 15*C over the day. ( Installed a light and it’s in an greenhouse)
