Imo super cropping promotes more stretching . I have a few that super stretched after super cropping. Try to tie them.down instead or topping.. Move light closer too. Also with spectrum. More red during veg and more blue during flower will decrease stretch. IR during both will cause major stretching too.

Appreciate the advice, bro. I feel like messing with the nutrients will mess up my routine and I like how I'm locked into the feeding schedule right now, so I guess it's a good thing I just gave the tall ccbg another nice bend down...she's gnarly looking now shaped like a question mark, I guess? I'll have to get some better pics up soon. Also pinched over the two violators after I wrote that. So things are already looking a lot better than earlier today. They were probably at 4ft by today and my tent is only 6ft so with the lights hanging on the wires and yo-yo's, I'm pretty close to my max height (if i haven't maxxxed out already) if I want to get anything worthwhile down low. Next time I'll top for sure, or at least veg less...ha, is it bad to only be two weeks into flower and already want this grow to be over so I can be on to the next one?You're in Cocco should see results fast.......cut down/or out the phosphorous and raise the nitrogen (basically switch out the bloom for grow)
Keep supercropping! Bring your lights closer ! and next time top the bitches if it bothers you so much
Be safe brother

Interesting...I always noticed the lower growth stretch up some along with the top of the supper cropped reaching back up to the light. The tops are beyond tying down at this point. I usually do that on the lower branches so they get out and up from the bottoms.
Appreciate the advice guys, but honestly it was more of a cry to the weed gods to make it stop than anything...then again...maybe riu is the mount olympus for weed gods.

Day 21 of 12/12. End of week 3.
No complaints. Everything is going great since they stopped stretching and being supercropped. I'll probably hit them with some pk 13/14 either at the middle or toward the end of this week. Getting to about that point. Crystals are starting to come on nicely. I increased the amount of boost a few days ago by a couple ml/g. Also started switching up the order in which I mix up my nutrients after reading an article in last month's maximum yield a few days ago about how silicon works. They said it's better to mix it in the water before anything other nutrients, including base. I had been doing it near the end of the mixture (still liked what it was doing for me that way) so we'll see if there's any difference. It was a pretty good read. I also did a little bit of pruning down low; I took off a couple of the lowest branches that weren't going to amount to jack diddly. That's about all that's new. Peace, hope you like the pics, I tried to take some better ones than usual.

1-2 maybe 2.5 weeks if i feed low doses. Probably a total of 4-6 feeds in all.how many feeds/weeks do you add PK13/14?
What silicon additive? I never got any
I'm using silica blast and like it. Wasn't expensive if I remember and it doesn't take much.

Day 28 Update. End of Week 4. Things are looking great, really can't complain about anything. If I had to nitpick something though, I guess I would say they might be a bit on the slow side, but that's about all I can say. But I expected a little delay with all that bending I had to do. They got their first and second feeds of pk13/14 already. Will probably do another 1 or 2 by the end of this week. Thanks for stopping in.
P.S. Chocolope Cheese #1 and #2 ready to tear shit up.

See this is the part of Puff's grows that makes me bust into my flowering tent screaming shit like, "Why can't you be more like Puff's girls", till I realize I've morphed into my father and I just crumble in a pile of regret. LOL. Looking good P, specially that Violator K.

Day 35 update.
They still have quite a bit of filling out to do so I'm thinking they will probably be closer to 9 weeks rather than the 8 I was hoping for. It's really hard to get decent pics of more than one bud at a time. I'll try better next time. I realized a few days ago that the 2 cotton candy bubblegums in the back really got held back by the other 3 monsters in the tent. They didn't get much side branching action happening. And I never really took them out to look at them or anything. Once they hit 12/12 I kinda just let them do their things, which apparently was to grow straight up and not bush out quite like their big sister. I'm so mad at myself for letting these bitches get out of control. It'll definitely hurt come harvest...but I won't let that get me down because the straight fire that they are turning into will be more than enough to make me forget about it. I'll probably hit them with some moab here come this weekend, give or take. Not much else to update on. Thanks for stopping in and for all the comments.
