Yeah for sure i think im getting to much stretch between nodes got my light lower but seem to be able to run it at 250 watts because its getting close to 30 deg in my tent.

Think i read heat causes stretch too is that true?

Btw the only tops that are getting good node spacing are the side branches that didnt get topped just lst.
Stretching is a given and highly variable depending on genetics, I've not noticed any differences between light distances enough to take note of it. It's gonna happen to some extent regardless, Don't stress it mate :)

Any truth to mh helping control stretch versus hps? Seems like I've read less stretch using mh during first part of flower?

I don't know, I always just ran HPS all the way through when growing with them, I have since switched all my lights to gen 7 bridgelux cobs and meanwell drivers..... I have noticed lots of stretch with more sativa dominant and less with indica

I'm running a too full scrog this time and taking suggestions! Most of my stretch filles in by harvest, so I've never stressed much till I over filled this screen.
The vigor during stretch always amazes me, OP don't let your tops get into your lights. Check them every day for the next two/three weeks. It'd be sad to torch her tops after such a nice veg!

Yeah i check daily just for that reason they are getting taller everyday i def would have to raise the lights eventually.

Time to curb the nitro too ( plants are dark ) and has stored more than enough for transition time.
Yeah i do notice the leaves are really dark green def have to buy some bloom nutes for sure this week. Thanks.

Guys seems one of my plants have a small case of wpm again. My fault as i watered i may have put some water onto the plant.

Any suggestions?

I did a milk treatment on all plants before i went to flower and wiped down affected plant seem to work ok.

I do have a rose spray that fights against black spots and bugs also wpm.

Would it be ok to use this in early flower?

I don't know much on fertilizers but I'd find something with less nitrogen. If your spray is organic, I think a treatment would be fine.
Are you sure that's wpm, looks like dried nutes to me?
Yeah def will find one with less N for bloom.

Yeah not sure if it is wpm now ya mentioned it because this is the only plant that has it and it was the only one i poured the water/nutes onto foliage when i watered.

You could be right guess ill just keep wiping off and be care ful watering to see if that was the case.

mh has a much bluer spectrum, which helps promote shorter, bushier growth. the redder light from hps does just the opposite, makes the plant react like it was outside in fall lighting, so it stretches more to catch more of the available light
