Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis stretch 15 centimètres (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common.

Amazing, she totally resined until her big leaves were covered with ice, something beautiful her scent of vanilla something fruity with sweet indicates that her care was well associated with her so, the most of this girl we can hope for.

16/09/2025 19:15 Finally 2 of my plant finished their journey and the photoperiodic ones seems to focus only on flowers #1 gorilla z auto 83 days from seed Last video before harvest,i know there's a lot of white pistils but i had to chop #2 frostbanger auto 76/days from seed Last video before harvest ,smell was at his peak #3 Coco fresh 47 days from seed Stretched more than ever and now full of hair,i don't know the height maybe next time i will bring a Meter #4 Coco Milk 59 days from seed Buds forming fast she Is recovering the late start of flower stage,had to lollipop this but i didn't have much time,the next visit i will make a photo before and after an heavy defoliation Still no resin just a tiny bit on the top cola #5 Apricot auto 55 days from seed She's maturing fast and now smelling strong of fruit I think this will be chopped sooner than i expected maybe 1st of october

They looked thirsty today so i gave em water! Starting to flower now to 🤘🏾

Well fuck me sideways, SBG may have been right. A noticeably large cola exists between these 2 test plants, and it looks to belong to non defo. ... I may have fucked up, but lets wait to find out!!!! Thanks for looking

Harvested at day 76, after 72h of darkness. Very good yield! 3.3 pounds of dry buds + 1 pound of trim The 2 keepers yielded 366 and 342g of premium quality smoke. Very uplifting and energizing high :) Love it!

Significant drop in local temps this week 6 of flower. A cold stream hit the area bringing outdoor temps to below 60 F daytime and low 30's F at night. Had to bust out the portable heater, which when adjusted kept 12 hr dark indoor tent temps at about 65 F. I brought the humidity from 55% down to 50%, which has been fairly easy to maintain. No nutrient regimen or training at this point: Super soil with top dressings prior to flipping 12/12 and at week 4 of flower. Defoliation prior to 12/12 flip and end of week four flower. Heavy lifting is over now, so maintaining health is priority #1. I'm using 7 gallon fabrics, so watering is basically once a week (from below and above) to full saturation. It's not quite a full dry-back when it gets hit with another watering. Pheno #2 doesn't particularly enjoy the watering regimen as much as #1 and #3. Going to allow a day or two more of dry back to see if #2 responds better. I believe the other two will not be adversely affected, but will monitor closely. Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Comments always welcomed.

Step 1: 24 hrs in a glass of water Step 2: planted in a root riot Step 3: placed the root riot plug in a germination box on a heating mat until it germinated.

The plant has some potential it makes some huge nugs very much old school genetics. The buds are not gas or anything but the plant is a production monster . I’d love to run the plant outdoors and see it grow some massive buds…. The plants main problem is it’s a super crazy heavy feeder no matter what I threw at it it was never enough the leaves constantly had deficiencies from lack of nutrients probably because it grows a lot it’s a shot plant but it’s nag all over

A big hello to all the cannabis growing gardeners...and all the other visitors that came across my grow journal. Not much happening this week the one thing i did this week was transplanting the little rockwool cubes to bigger rockwool cubes. The seedlings will probably wait another week or two for the transplant in to the RDWC system. You can acquire Moby Dick seeds from Seeds Mafia here: https://seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html This whole grow's main sponsor is Spider Farmer and as such I added a video of unpacking one of the parcels I got from SF. Here are the links for people interested in the Spider Farmer products that are presented in the video: https://cutt.ly/gwjZIk9r A big thank you to Jessie and the whole Spider Farmer crew for supporting my effort to grow the best cannabis I can. Thank you for your visit, please leave a like and hope to see you beck here in about a week.

From/Desde: 28/07/18 || To/Hasta: 03/08/18 From day/Desde día: 58 || To day/Hasta día: 64 -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Flora time has come!!!!, the Lemon's Colas are awesome at time, it's internodal distances are excelent to form giant ARMS, an she will do it. I don't have too much photos of the Lemon from now on, i'm sorry for that. The last day of this week (August 3rd) i will harvest the GlueBerry A & B shown in photo 5, and some days after i will harvest the Dinafem Critical + 2.0 Auto, also shown in that photo. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Ha comenzado la floración, las colas que ya ha formado la Lemon son increíbles. Tienen una distancia internodal excelente para formar enormes brazos y así lo harán. No tengo muchas fotos de la Lemon de aquí en adelante (estoy intentado recuperar las fotos que envié por whatsapp, pero no hay muchas). El último día de de esta semana (3 de agosto) cortaré las Glueberry A y B que se observan en la foto 5. 😱y unos días después la Critical 2.0 Auto de Dinafem que también se ve en esa foto.

I’ve kept almost all the fertilizer, light, and environmental parameters the same. I did a good defoliation to improve airflow, since I was having a bit of trouble lowering the humidity. This also helps the light penetrate better through the buds, allowing them to develop more fully.

51 Days in flower have passed. This week i got myself an upgrade, new light the FC-E3000 and a 120x60 grow tent so i can grow some bigger and better medicine. I love the specs on the light, the price was right and so i have high expectations from looking at other peoples reviews of the light. We will see if im able to hit the jackpot with this! 🤠 The girls are looking great! Cheese left, Gorilla Girl right. the pictures and videos are self explanatory, its looking awesome!!! If you ever wondered where i stashed the Runtz and Bruce Banner; i took them out of the grow tent and just put them in the corner of my house without light only surviving off the light in the shadow from the sun, they have been neglected for a while but they still went on super strong, they started flowering 3 weeks ago so i had to put them into reveg so they look a little odd now but its all good. it was either that or i would have to throw them in the trash, and im not gonna waste some nice strains like that. Im impressed how they have survived with almost no light and water. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. 😎

The outdoor ladies are enjoying the nice weather and doing very well. Divine Rapier is also beginning to bloom. Unfortunately, it's supposed to rain a lot next week. We're hoping for the best!

Another cycle completed, it had a good result with very thick and heavy buds, a very citrusy and pleasant smell. In the next update I will give feedback on the aroma and flavor.. Happy Growing ✌️🌱🌿💪

Oh!! I am so excited!! This little Sex panther is sneaking around and growing even though her tap root got broken!!! I didn't know if it would make it or not, but here she is killing it!! She grew 3+inches this week. And, I am using @advancenutrients for the first time. Jungle Juice is proving to be a great investment so far. @STRNGSeeds says it should "it reaches moderate heights of 90–130 cm with a sturdy, bushy frame." If you look at the attached pictures, you will see a lot of growth--tells me it will probably be very bushy just like it was described. Today, I am very pleased with Sexy Moma's growth!!

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Apple And Banana 👈 So we had some real nice growth this , had to do a little leaf management👈 flower mode activated...... Everything is looking good 👍I'm using well water which is hard so I'm having a few issue but I'm on it .... So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate pre flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈 Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈
