Stretchy plants
TrialAndErrorGrowsstarted grow question 3 years ago
Any advice on how to prevent excessive stretch in the first few weeks of bloom. I would like the nodes to be closer together for nicer top colas.

Just have the right environment. Growth is slower during the day and they stretch more at night. If they're stretching too much, there's probably added growth during the day which points to the lighting being too weak. Make sure you're at the right height.
Your internodal spacing doesn't look bad though.

3500k colour spectrums will give you tighter node spacing instead of a 3k. I also heard that adding extra silica to the mix reduces node spacing a little. But looking at your pic I say that looks good. They will fill in as the buds grow.

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?

General Advice (Day20)Hi there :)
Seeking a little advice from you guys :P
I'm thinking about cutting off the mid nodes of my girls dominant stem to give the other ones more space later on as i branch them out.
Is this a good idea or is there enough space between them already?
Thanks for your help :)

Hi growers, I've got a an issue with one of my plants..
After 2 weeks of LST two of them seem to be doing fine growing in all directions, but the third one keeps on one side and all the leafs are very tight to each other. đ
Do I need to get worried about it? How can I help it?
