secondary branches stretch during flowering
blasterw32started grow question 4 years ago
I've been growing Moby Dick using a mainlining technique. During the stretch phase, some secondary branches have grown a lot and are not close to the main stem anymore. Should I keep them? Should I cut? Will they help making big, fat colas?

Hello
Go through the whole plant thoroughly and any that are really not getting the best light remove. But if you have a few secondary that are getting good strong light...id say keep them. They may just be smaller dense buds off the lower side of your biggest colas but would still give you some great buds. And then you'll have some branches to compare against, whether keeping the secondary shoots helps or harms.👍

I suggest lollipopping your plants to maximize the footprint of your light onto the canopy. I usually trim the bottom 1/3 of the plant. Check out my latest grow if you're curious. I don't know how deep your light can penetrate; those secondary branches have potential to become chunky so long as they have good exposure to light but keep in mind they won't be as big as the tops.

Should the first tiny node be removed?Hi guys! So this is a fb auto day 22. I was not planning to stress train her in any way. Could you please advise is this first node should be removed or kept? It looks unusually small to me and I wanted to remove it but I've never removed anything so early. Thank you, growmies!

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.

Tips to improve space and airflow (Lil Amazonia)As a first grower, I made a lot of mistakes. Now I'm lacking of space inside the tent. Is there any tip or techniques i can use to improve the space and airflow inside the tent. I was thinking of defoliation but maybe it can create more problems as they are Autos.

Excessive streching, or is it normal?Excessive streching, or is it normal?
What should I do to get more control for automatic genettics to avoid streching.
My guess is that this time, with healthy plants, and 3 in the 60x60 tent, they compited for light.
I didn't have a fan and ventilation is poor, would it be that?

Concern about VPD, stretch, twisting leaves ... or is it OK?This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.
