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 🌱👍

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard!
This genetic curveball beats me.
Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act

Nitrogen Toxicity?Not sure if this is nitrogen toxicity or normal leaf color. Crinkling was caused by too much light and the fan. Got better in 24h after adjusting grow light and fan. Plants are starting week 2 of veg, Hulkberry Auto. Medium is light mix soil.

Does a stressed seedling turn hermie?Hi! Pretty much like a zombie, I got my OG to come back to life. As you can see, she gave up on the main shoot and on all leaves but one after stress on the transplant. Now I see a new tip appear and grow. Can a feminized plant turn hermie because of that stress?
