Damnit, I keep thinking they might be about done growing upward and then a day later, I'm monkeying around in there trying to tie branches away from the light, AGAIN. I've already super-cropped the tallest. I realize I shoulda done a better job training early on, but geeze. The biggest one has leaves that sure look indica dominant but it's just SO tall. I'm in the middle of week four since the flip...can I expect these to stall out anytime soon? Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Lol. It can get scary in a grow box! I see some flowers so they should be close to ending the stretch start putting on weight.
It's been makin flowers for a while...when they started fattening up, I thought the stretch might be over, but nope, lol. Thanks for the reply. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Still stretching after budding, hmmm :/. What lights are you using, what space is that? is it one plant, The front stayed short? The internodal spacing is abit ridiculous, so stretched :s
3000k QBs in the back. 2x120w. It's 3 plants in a 48x48x80. I think I stretched them good with those red supplemental boards I have. I was using them to supplement the Mars but didn't turn them off when I got the QBs. I've had them off for a few days now and they definitely slowed down. I probably won't turn them on until after the stretch next time. I've effed up so many little things, lol. That's why I just grew bag seeds this go round though. Figured I'd make some mistakes.

The Mars in the front is 300W and I actually have a 240W lm301h lamp on the way to replace the Mars entirely. So I'm at 540W right now and will have a more efficient 480W when my replacement comes. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Then you planted the wrong beans for your space! Some Sativas and Hybrids can outgrow a tent in no time Good Luck
Haha, I planted what I smoked no clue what they are. Next time I'll work with some known genetics. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Long story short then, increasing lighting in there is probably not going to stop the upward growth. If you have 540w in there alreays, any more is gonna cook the tops. You're gonna have to supercrop the shiznit out of it. Cheers
I grow a Sativa dominent and it doubled in size after flipping to 12/12 . The stretch stopped after 2 or 3 weeks of flower.
Gotchya. Yeah, the tallest is like 10 inches from the light. Got lots of airflow up there and they look alright right now. Wasn't planning on adding anymore light, just replace the Mars is all. The one in the front hasn't grown much upward and is making great buds. Wish I would have cloned her. She's the perfect size. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Mine have quadrupled probably. These were in a 2x4x5 when I flipped them, lol. This is a pic from when I moved them, mid flower, into the 4x4, and eleven days later. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
I really think I fucked up with the red lights. Too much at the wrong time. I was also using my flower initiators for too long. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Thats crazy, I hope you will be able to manage it. mine are also just 8 or 9 inch away and I see some light stress on leafs. Hope I can finish good though and hope same for you buddy.
You can still clone. Its called Monster Cropping Complete Guide to Monstercropping for Better Yields | Grow Weed Easy
Do you run that mars hydro tsl at 100% during veg? I have the same light. It seems to be a pain in the ass to easily adjust the power. Mine wants to just switch from 100% to the lowest setting. There’s really no in between. Same with both ballasts
Yup, the drivers suck. It's all or nothing. The second you dim at all, they flicker like crazy. Useless feature. Meanwell or bust from now on. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
