So I've been growing in a side closet using LST for over 3months now 24/7 lights. I've upgraded my lights several times. First lights I was using was 5 18 watt CFL lights. Then upgraded to 4 26 watt CFL bulbs with blue spectrum. Now I have 3 of the 26 watts and 1 48 watt soft white CFL bulb on one plant. Now that plants side branchs are getting really big but not so tall. So I was wondering when I do 12/12 how much should I expect for bud strenching?
Depending on strain, they usually double in size. Sativas seem to stretch a little bit more than indica strains. There is a nutrient solution called Bushmaster that you can accompany with your normal feeding that sometimes reduces stretching and increases bud density but it's not guarenteed. It really all depends on the strain.
Well I was just trying to see how much they stretch. So I can finally go 12/12. But its just some bag seed I have. If you do a search you will find a recent pic of it. Todays plant is busher, side branches are taller and bushy. I have no idea If its a female yet. But I'll add new pics later on.
If it's three months old then you should know if it's male or female by the preflowers. Like I said, it will probably double in size. If it's 2 feet tall expect it to be 4 feet after it stretches give or take.
