That could be the problem then by the sounds of it, were you running 24 hr veg for any particular reason ? I got my cycle a bit fucked when I was trying some new strains and over verged by about 2 weeks so I left them in the dark for 48 hrs and I reckon the turned a little quicker then for the first 2 weeks I ran 10/14 then 11/13 think that helped speed things up too. You tried raising your light up ? That might get them to stretch out a little more
Yea, heat. Having the lights on saved me running a heater.
And yep, tried that to. Im not to fussed and I learnt something from it. Im guessing they are only about a week/ week and 1/2 behind were they should be in flower but by running 24 veg i probably gained the same in growth. It was just a bit worrying when i flipped and had no stretch...but she has since started to fill out the holes in the net.
The cold lights off period would of also slowed me down a little as well i recon.
I carnt complain really. Apart from a male, some minor nute burn on the plant on the back left its been a pretty easy (albeit eventful) grow so far. I hope it stays that way with less eventful.
