Which would be best for biggest yield on my stretched plants??

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by Shcgood, Jan 21, 2021.

  1. I am 17 days into flowering, my plants are doing amazing. This is my first grow and I feel I have done very well, besides the fact that my plants are very stretched. I was told I will not get a very good yield because of this. The top flowers are doing very well but because it is so stretched there are a lot of lower flowers that are no where near as big. I want to cut them off so it focuses more on the top flowers possibly producing a bigger yield? Please give me your opinion, I’m not sure if this is too stressful on the plant at the stage it’s in and will make things worse. Or if it will be beneficial

    There’s even some going off the main stem. I don’t see them getting very big at all

  3. I have three bulbs that are hanging down that I can adjust the height of. I’ve been trying to get it as close as possible without hurting the plants so the lower flowers get more light
     
  4. leave everything as it is, the lower buds seem to get enough light. If you remove them, you remove weight from your final yield. Just flower it out, use the right amount of Nutrients (not too strong because you dont have very many leafs for the recovery). The problem you have is the very weak stems due to the absence of enough wind. The plants are weak and will stay like this, most probably. You will by my estimation get 10-20 grams per plant at the end when everything is dried

    if you want to improve also get some proper pots and growing soil, the soil looks very hard (but I am not sure)

    List:
    Proper lights (Mars Hydro Ts1000 or something of this kind)
    Fans vor Ventilation in Veg and Flower
    Pots
    Soil

    Good luck anyway. Dont get discouraged. What you have looks good and pretty healthy, just too weak

    (all of the above obviously is only my personal oppinion based on my personal experiences)

  5. a stretched out plant from inadequate lighting isnt going to result in a good yield.

    I would disagree, the plants are clearly in bad shape from lack of light.
    how would it make sense the LOWEST buds on the plant are getting enough light? when clearly the entire plant is suffering from lack of light?

    The plants are stretched out with weak stems because the plants have had insufficient lighting.

    you do NOT need strong outdoor winds to have thick strong stems...

    @Shcgood if you want the experience of growing/flowering/harvesting a plant. just keep going and dont worry about yield. the experience you gain from your first grow will be worth WAY more than the amount of weed your going to get.

    P.s. no one can really give you an accurate estimate what your yield will be from a couple of pictures with no information regarding Lights/Feeding schedule/Medium/ no experience.

    Best of luck. :)
     
  6. the lower buds are not covered by leafs and I dont think the upper buds would put on the mass of the removed buds + more by removing the smaller budsites/budlets. Maybe try it out with one and then you know the next time.
     
  7. my point is, the whole plant is NOT getting enough light. not even CLOSE.

    but you think the lower buds, farthest from the light are getting adequate lighting lol.

  8. well.. if he only has these lamps, what can he do? All i said was that my oppinion is it would be best to leave the plants as they are in order to obtain the maximum harvest amount. It was a GTO recommendation. In my oppinion. Of course if you can, buy a proper growlight or something and you will get these plants to add an extra 2 to 5 grams before they finished flowering

    (if your point is the whole plant doesnt get enough light, how would removing lower budsites change anything about that?)

    do you even grow bro?
     
  9. ^^^
    ya that isnt what i said at all,

    I said if the top buds arent getting enough light, why would you think the lower buds are getting enough?

    ya. Hydro and soil.

    hey Look! a thick/strong stem that never saw wind faster than a desk fan.
