Sativa signs in stretching phase

AS205started grow question 5 years ago

Girls started showing sativa signs in stretch phase. They entered week 3 of 12/12 and flower stage fully began, still they continue to stretch and is it normal to show not symmetrical stem stretching? Plants have 30% sativa in genetics

It looks like the standard indica stretch, your plants were 22 cm tall before thee stretch and now are 40 cm. If it were a sativa it would have tripled its size. It also has to do with the size of the pot you are using, a smaller pot will keep the final size in check. Ans it is very normal for some stems to grow more than others

Just make sure you have cut the N waaaaay down, and the plants should start focusing more on the buds. They might still gain a few inches, using up the N that the plant has already stored, but it should stop your nodes from spacing out like crazy.

You can control spacing with the light. Closer light tighter the spacing. It's normal for her to chase the light.

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.

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?

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.

Stem growths or nodules? All info or theories welcome!One of my strains "The Incredible Bulk" always gets these stringy protrusions. My best guess is that it's like primordial roots due to the plant needing a transplant. Young clones don't have them just older plants of this strain. Any info or theories are welcomed.

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.
