stretchy tops

dusk84
dusk84started grow question 3 years ago
I keep running into this problem I have a few tops that go ahead of the rest to the point that my light is burning the leaves. I bend that down only for another to do the same. What to do about it going forward as I feel raising the light will make the problem worse?

You mentioned that your going to carry on for the seeds why ? Seeds will be hermies like the plant and so will anything near this plant be pollinated If you don't want hermied seeded bud forever then you need to scrap them all amd start fresh after cleaning everything we'll first even the fans filters tent everything fan controller lights pollen can stay on them for quite a while I feel its waste of electric when the buds won't be nicely smoke able and the seeds useless so I went the scrap and start over route good luck but they will continue to make seeds instead of thc now. Happy growing but personally I wouldn't bother wasting anymore money or effort into them you can smoke the weed after just not the quality to sell or not what people want its a horrible thing to happen happy growing

You need to train into the net the entire grow up until week 4 of flower. That's when vertical growth should start to hakt as all energy focuses on flower. Heavy LST, HST and even supercropping will assist. You can also add a second trellis for the few that despite all efforts escape. This looks like you flipped too early imo. As you could have used that vertical growth during flower stretch to fill your canopy, this looks more like you tried filling your canopy mostly then flipped and are now dealing with the stretch with nowhere to go. Happy adventures

Super crop them. Roll the stems near the screen till it falls over. It will heal and be even with the canopy. You can weave the cola in the screen. Thats if you have space.

I'd personally do as much LST as you can whether they're in danger of getting burned or not... I've had to LST and then LST the same stems again and again... and I ended up literally resting my light on top of the tent's crossbars... helluva harvest, though, I'll tell you!! Go ahead and do both - raise your lights and LST the hell out of them - sounds like they really want to stretch and stretch! Good luck!
