Why did two of my plants stretch massively
vertex8started grow question 4 years ago
Taking a look at the video in week 9 you can see that two of my plants have stretched substantially more than the others, im trying to figure out if this is something I can prevent or if this is purely genetics.. ant advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

HighRoller909answered grow question 4 years ago
it is genetics.some phenotypes stretch more under hps lamps.but you can still try to minimize it using supercropping method. simply bend the tallest branch hard,break inner muscles,no surface cracks.it is not too late to apply it.bend it hard and tie it somewhere to keep that shape and you'll get a more even canopy than now
Hudson2384answered grow question 4 years ago
This is normal during the flowering phase. The key rule when flipping your light schedule is to factor in double growth. So if your canopy is at 2 feet then your plants could be as large as 4 feet at the end of the grow.

After you harvest, pull the roots of the soil, and you might see differences in root development, that seems to happen if your substrate is not too homogenous, and plants really love soft, aireated soil, so any pot with extra perlite or vermiculite might have exploded growth on roots and roots always translate to vegetable growth.
Keep on the great care!
Happy smokes!

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.

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.

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.

Proper node spacingCan someone tell me the correct node spacing should be. I think they are stretching a bit and I should lower my lights, but don't want to risk light burn again. Conflicting info between light chart and ppd conversion with waveform lighting calculator.

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Why is my girl so bushy and how to make her stretch? Thanks!Hi guys, so she's 29 days old. I feel like light and air can't get in, she's covering her new growth with her big fat fan leaves. I don't think it has to do with distance to the light because I tried being 40cm above and now 75cm, she just keeps growing wider, DLI 25 ~ 15k LUX 😽

Currently growing my first plant - Gorilla Glue Auto using Spider Farmer SF1000.
Hoping someone can give me insight into why there are so many small bud sites & why they aren't getting any fatter. Or should I be removing all but a few?
Currently week 6 since sprouting

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!
