Excessive streching, or is it normal?
Kannamarstarted grow question 1y 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

How can I improve horizontal growth? -first grow, not too much light, manual watering, no nutrients added yetHey,
I'm growing 2 Amnesia autos, they get around 6-7 hours direct sunlight and I help them out with two lightbulbs. I left them for 2-3 days with not enough light so they grew a lot vertically.
Do you have any tips to increase horizontal growth? (Besides buying better lights :D)

To Pune or install Support NettingAt day 47 I've noticed a significant increase in bud formation. I'm worried about light pen and support. Im running 3 plants in a 4x4 area. Should I install a net like a late Sea of Green growing style to help spread buds out for light pen and support when heavy or thin her out?

What happened here?Had 2 stems that aren't doing well. Can really tell what happened. They are a lot taller than the rest. At first I thought it was because of light intensity. When I examined it closer it looks like the stem is damage or some sort of nutrient thing. Any thoughts
