Good question and it's a shame it will be lost in this thread forever, after the thread is closed.
Like I said I'm no expert but I would hazard a guess at that not being correct, the reason I say that is because if you defoliate too soon after flipping to 12/12 you will stop the stretch. So if the plant was stretching to get more light then I would have thought it would have been the other way round, and the plant would stretch even more.
I can't be 100% sure on that as I said I'm not a botanist, so it's just a best guess.
I would post more pictures and experiences in a thread that isn't doomed for closure, and one that was run in a constructive way but until then I don't feel inclined to post much more information.
actual got accidentally banned, but guess what neo, i'm back,bwahaha!!Kip Dynamite is one of Chuck's many alias's, just in case anyone is wondering. Nice try Chuck.
Growan, my strain normally takes about 90 days, start to finish from seed, on a geustimation, how long wouldnit extend my entire grow in time frame...
Of course, I mustn't for get the title of the thread is '...during flowering..'
To my mind, by flowering time a plant should have enough leaves to cope with loosing a few and not having to stretch to equalise light. I always figured the post 12/12 stretch was a response to having available light halved, and the plant attempting to compensate. Compounded in the flowering cycle by the hormones in the plant having shifted to 'lets flower' rather than 'lets leaf'.
I'd say though that in early stages where there is, lets say 'enough' foliage rather than an abundance like at the end of the vegetative cycle there is a possibility that the plant's first response may be to reach for the light and stretch whilst it get's it's shit together and throws out multiple leaves to replace the leaves removed (I think that's one result reported following defoliation?). Perhaps the initial stretch requires less energy than the lesf production and is a stop gap until the preferred response (regrowing leaves) kicks in?
@ colonnugs. They are very green and healthy...props for that.
but I would be unhappy with colas of that size.
get em up to 1 liter pop bottle size and we're talking.....seriously
Now please repeat your fantastic grow but leave maybe 5 of the million plants with leaves! That scale of grow could actually prove this one way or another. Please do it...?
Thought I was missing something!
Would you consider that perhaps Red is stretching more than Blue due to being deprived of light due to the defoliation?
