Starting to think about expected stretch when flip...

Hi there unfortunately there is no definate answer being to many variables happened to get to where you are now. A good rule of thumb is they will double in size.. Best of luck going into flower... Grow on ✌️ 💚

Hi, Der Stretch richtet sich nach der Pflanzen Breite / Dichte & vitalem nach der Genetik. Es gibt keine Formel die vorhersagt wie groß deine Pflanze wird… aber ein paar Faustregeln. Indices stretchen meist ca. mit Faktor 1-1,5 — bedeutet sie doppeln, während sativas meist mehr streichen bis Faktor 2,5. Hoffe das hilft, viel Erfolg 🤞🏽👊👌

the size of the plants when you go into flip matters too -- growth curve is logrithmic, initially, before tapering off based on environmentalfactors like pot size etc.. When you have 1/2 the area filled (2/3 x 2/3 or 67% x 67% of space you intend to fill - LxW), it should fill in fine from that point - avoid over-crowding and minimize any pruning needed. Just need faith that it will grow in. Taking off all those leaves might slow it down by comparison. If that delays flower at all, it's stretch even more than expected. If unsure, can err on high side and do a bit more pruning later one to avoid over-crowding. If familiar with your growth rate and know it'll fill in well with ~25-30 days of vege growth after flip, trust it and save the excess nutes and electricity - including the wasted growth (time and resources) you prune off. The less i have to prune, the better i guessed about post-flip growth. Even if someone has grown that specific strain from same breeder, the variety from seed to seed makes that less than perfect information. I'd judge it based on the growth you've seen so far. For the most part the laggards will continue to lag in flower... occasionally the slow ones early on can explode, though. Ther's no 1 answer.. it's a spectrum of possibilities. Some strains are quite consistent, but even the best show different growth patterns.

Salam NugNut! 👋 That is an absolutely killer lineup of genetics, Habibi. You are mixing some heavy modern exotics with a true classic! 🌿 Let's look at the "Ancestry" of these strains because your canopy is going to get a little wild if you aren't prepared: 1. AJ Sour Diesel (The Wildcard): 🚀 This is the one you need to watch. Sour Diesel genetics are notorious for a massive stretch. Expect her to double or even triple (2x - 3x) in height. She will try to touch your HLG light if you let her! 2. Modified Grapes (GMO x Purple Punch): 🍇 Because of the GMO in her lineage, she wants to stretch, but the Purple Punch side usually tames her down a bit. Expect a solid 2x stretch. 3. Super Boof & Dante's Inferno: 🍒🔥 These are modern, tight, frosty exotics. They will have a very average, manageable stretch (about 1.5x to 2x). They build chunky, dense structures rather than long, lanky vines. The "Modern Engineering" Strategy: 🛠️ You are in a 4x8 Gorilla tent, so you have the headroom, but your problem will be an uneven canopy. The Sour Diesel is going to shoot up past the Super Boof and Dante's. The Fix: Get a trellis net up before you flip to 12/12. When the stretch begins, keep weaving the AJ Sour Diesel horizontally under the net so she stays at the exact same height as the others. This ensures your HLG 700 hits all the colas with equal PAR! 💡 You’ve got the perfect setup for this run. Tame that Diesel, and you're golden! 🏆 Happy Growing! 💚
