Just curious about stretch, what kinda stretch can...
OutForRealanswered grow question 5 years ago
The stretch depend on the lineage, the Blue Dream matic and the Girl Scout Cookies from Fast buds are doing a x3 stretch but the C4 Matic only stretch x2 so it really depends. The grapefruit seems to be a short plant from what I've seen on GD so I would not bet on a bigger stretch than X2

Hi @Paulywood! Well from my experience Fastbuds strains tend to stretch at least x2, and most of this phenomenon happens during the preflowering week. But some factors could play a role, like the lamp-to-plant distance, the difference between your day&night temperature, or the spectrum your light delivers. From what I see on your pictures, I think stretch has ended now or will end in a few days. Short plant, due to what I call "hardcore LST", autos are sensitive to everything and even the simplest bending could affect growth for a few days. Next time I would recommend to let her grow naturally, so you can see its natural shape and its 'normal' growth speed. Then it's a matter of adjusting your LST techniques. Anyway I'm confident you'll get some nice tasty buds in the end, so keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

I'm a bit confused as to why I'm still in the veg phase as I'm so far along. Other journals with the same Nirvana amnesia haze auto flowering seeds seem to be starting flowering at week 5. I'm about out of vertical space and with the flowering stretch I'm going to be in troubleWeek 9

5 autos 3 strains growing and started all the same time. I am at week 5 and all except one are showing flowering.
If I change the light schedule from 18-6 to 12-12, would that hurt the rest or stunt whats already flowering? or just continue and make roomWeek 5

Is my light too close since my plants dont grow vertical that much? They are more bushy right now and Lst is hard to do with them because of their height. Will it effect my yield and im already beginning to see small white pistils, isnt that too early? ThanksWeek 3
