Excessive streching, or is it normal?
Kannamarstarted grow question a year ago
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?

If you've no ventilation. Your heat Vs the cold when lights are out causes stretching in pre flower
Keeping the temp within 5-6c is crucial for non stretching durin pre flower..
You could HST on the last few days of pre flower coming in to fattening. Tieing down the nodes (supercropping)

just bent the tops over if they get to tall. some strains just stretch more.
I did this on some of my autos that where to tall for the tent. some HST and snap the main cola on its side so it does no touch the light and get burnt to a crisp.
Good Luck!

high heat and humidity can cause some stretch.
Congestion can cause stretching too, because low-light hitting leaves (all of the shielding of tightly spaced stalks) will make it reach for more light.
Genetics is a primary factor, of course. Everything will be relative to the genetics.
go for 2-3 colas per sq ft.

4 plants + one bucket = massive competition = excessive stretching.
In future, 1 bucket, 1 plant.

some strains have sativa dominance so they will stretch quite a lot
in future you can use training techniques like lst or hst to keep the canopy even and avoid the legginess

secondary branches stretch during floweringI've been growing Moby Dick using a mainlining technique. During the stretch phase, some secondary branches have grown a lot and are not close to the main stem anymore. Should I keep them? Should I cut? Will they help making big, fat colas?5 years ago

Should I do anything with all the bud sites that are underneath my canapoy?There are a lot of bug sites underneath my canopy that will probably never see light. Should I just let them be or should I look to trim them down? I will be going into week five of flower here in a few days.5 years ago

Grow help and adviceHey guys little help.
Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering.
Also does this look like flowering ?

What next for these clones?I have always mainlined or done some sort of LST with clones. This time I've let them grow out, but dunno what to do now.
What should my next steps be to maximise the amount of bud I can pull off each plant? Do I leave the clone to grow wild (I have the space for it)?5 years ago
