What can i do now to keep my plants down?
WeedDudestarted grow question 2 years ago
So they grow about 9 cm over night 😲 I'm starting to worry,
that they will get out of control with stretching (Landrace strain).
What can i do now to keep them down. Can I top them now in flowering stage?
Continue with LST? More light?

If they are stretching like mad and you having issues with them I would suggest trying something called supper cropping if LST is not working.
It is a HST technique that will help even out the canopy and prevent them from getting to tall. Best used in conjunction with SCROG.
in short its pinching a branch to bend 90 degrees to be horizontal vs vertical.
Also 9cm is impressive, if bamboo can grow 3feet in a day I don't see why cannabis can't do 3 inches, its also one of the most versatile plants farmed.
Don't believe the haters who use words like "Impossible"
few little read on HST and super cropping.

@gottagrowsometime thanks mate for taking the time to help me, i really appreciate it.

That and you've only switched over to 12/12 takes a few days before she'll come out of that 18/6 Light cycle. Increasing the light will also help promote flowering.

9 cm over night. Mate there impossible are u sure that's right? What are u feeding them must be a serious growth nute cut it out and keep lights closer but stay in the 30cm window so they don't stretch and if that's the real height there growing so 6-7 Is when autos usually have a stretch before they start flowering, same with fems I'd say but can't say that for sure as I've only grown autos.

YOU can start training the part of the node that still bends to the side. The it down using a lower node to keep it growing the way you want, that's 1 way. Another is supercropping, it's just a fourm of HST but you use like a cross to hold up your nodes. Hope this helps. That and cut back on grow nutes and focus on bloom.

Has the early stretch ruined my plant at the first hurdle?Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?
