Stretching during flower

Post by Benjic93 »

Sup gr420,

Question on stretching. So my girls are 2weeks into flower, I havnt seen much stretching from then. Not as much as I'd hoped. There under 2x 250w invisiblesunled boards. Both dimmed down to about 150w. I've raised them both as high as I can to try and encourage stretching but doesn't seem to help. My temperature probably abit on the low side at 22c I've adjust my radiator so it's shouldn't go below 25c now atleast. My humidity always around 65/70%. There not 100% indica dominant so I thought they'd stretch quiet abit.

I put a net on ready for stability due to my last grow but I'm not even sure I need it.

How long does stretch usually last? 3weeks?

Any photos?
What media are you growing in?
Some strains stretch more than others
22c is fine
After reading your post again I wonder if you just didn’t veg them long enough?
If your trying to fill a net you need to train them a bit and fill the net before flipping

Drugs and Alcohol are never the answer! Unless the question was “what am I doing tonight”.

hi stretch can be anything from 2-3 weeks average and some sats stretch throughout the grow and the more sat genes ime the more stretch,temps under led ideal is 28c but anything above 25c is fine,to me 22c would be a good lights out temp. good luck

They vegged for 2 months. They havnt really stretched much from the beginning. Only flipped so they could be done before Christmas. Wouldn't even say they've doubled in size yet.

Awkward trying to adjust my temps for lights on and off. Because it's a radiator in there it's a shame i can't connect it to a timer. Leccy bill would be through the roof lol so it's just connected to the inkbird. Suppose that's where the insulation should be introduced I guess
