Have you guys ever noted the actual distance your plants grow per day during stretch?
My lights go on at 10pm, and off at 10am. Every night when they come on I check on the girls, and every morning after breakfast I look in again. It seemed like every time I looked in they were taller, but you know how that is. Then one day I ran out of rope on the pulleys and had to take them off and attach the light directly to the bar at the top of the tent. That was last Friday morning. The tallest bud on the OGx2 had gotten 9" from the lowest light (long story, I have one light that hangs from another). When I removed the pulley system, that moved the light up about 7".
Last night, 3.5 days later, the tallest bud was 9" from the light again, and this morning its 8". That's 2" of growth every 24 hours. I'm 23 days into flower. I can't raise the light anymore, so now the plant will decide its own fate. But I'm wondering if anyone else has noted their rate of growth during stretch? This is the first time I've run out of vertical room.
And ironically, the BB#3 on the other side of the tent grew short and wide and was so far from the light that I decided to mount an Optic 120 I'm not currently using as side/angled lighting to get some light closer to it.
I'm not even 7 days into flower and my Sativa is going crazy I have less than a foot left for my light at max height still keeping it 18" from the canopy lol.......
