So I am currently week 5-6 with Crocketts Confidential. I have not been seeing a lot of upward growth, but mostly just bushyness. The plants themselves look happy and healthy to my eye. Any recommendations to get these girls growing upwards?
Best and simplest would be to stop stressing them out and let them grow more between pinching them if they're the size and shape you desire you keep setting them back with HST. The Indica dominant genetics also tends to make for shorter bushier plants. When you switch to 12/12 and use more red spectrum lights and kick her some extra phosphorus she will show you what the word stretch means. 👍
You could raise your grow light and/or you can have your night temp 10 degrees cooler then day temp. Also if u can get more red light in there will help. You can do all three or just one. They will all make your plant stretch
Well with all that lateral training and spreading she will begin to push upwards but training her outwards will just not hit that upwards stretch yet if you can lift the lights up higher she will reach for those lights and keep in mind how much of a stretch she can get once you flip it over to the 12/12 lighting good luck and nice grow..
If you want more upward growth then move your light up higher and they will stretch towards it. Also keep in mind that they will hit some flowering stretch the first couple weeks after switching to flower.
