Well...after looking at the pic in your gj I'm wondering if your having an issue with that light being so close? How close is it? And do you have. Temp of then canopy?

Looks like "the claw" - too much N possibly.

Very nice! I've. Never seen a homemade version thats awesome! Your going to want to invest in a hydrometer for sure!

I'm almost willing to bet your hps is a cheap bulb like I use...barley any blues, I sup this with fluros on the sides or even in the canopy at times. On the other hand you can fork out the extra $ and get a D.E. bulb that covers the blues. I'm confident this will work much better than mh for...

Good luck!;)

Honestly it look like a ph issue...your showing def in K and Fe for sure and possibly Ca which wouldn't make since some you've added fert...I don't see nute burn here but maybe some what high N which is common in MG and most wide variety ferts. Personally I'd flush your soil with what ever...

See now I have been wrapping my head around this being so I used to grow monster plants (4'x4'x4' tomato plants and 4' basil plants among many others) in 2" cups on a raft system I and I've witnessed plants stretching to the other pots or becoming so thin they would fall over and root in them...

Hummm nobody gave you and organic approach huh? Pepper spray made at home for about $2 works wonders! There are many threads on how to make it, I like to add a pinch of Diaotenacious earth and poof gone in less than 24hrs also ladybugs will eat mites day and night if you can find any at hydro...

Looks perfectly fine to me...is only do it once more b4 harvest

here I made us one https://www.rollitup.org/t/do-smaller-pots-make-your-plants-stretch.889592/ alright hopefully someone can have some insight for us here

So a RIU member and I were discussing pot size and stretching. He is almost certain that a plant in a smaller pot will stretch. I'm not convinced but thought id start a thread to see what others may know about this?

Wish you would have included a pic but I'm sure you'll be fine from the sounds of it. I'm a defoliation nazi and also of the defoliation believers will tell you day 21 and day 45 are for defoliating if your growing indoors. Haters read before commenting please...

You must have nice bulbs for hps that have good blues...I'm currently using cheapest bulb they sell at the hydro store :s .....and that pot size thread has been has been bugging me like crazy tring to figure out why a plant would chose to do that....might need another thread for that one.

There is most definatly a benefit to running 24/0...I'm with Qwiz though I know with out a doubt that plants benefit from low light periods. I've read studies on low light and plant nutrient absorbtion and basically they can handle a higher ppm with weak light or what would be a cloudy day in...

The main reason you get stretching from the dark period is the temp change...the greater it is the more stretching will occur..this tells the plant that it's the time of year when it would normally stretch. As mentioned weak and lights too far away will also cause this.

To flip or not to flip....that is the question!

Are you running mh or hps? Wonder why your getting stretching it don't think it's from the 24/0 I am now using hps for veg 24/0 and they are bushy and low.

You should be shooting for 72-76, and 55 good luck :s and a huge heads up since your in a tent and you mentioned it being cold, the more the temp varies from light on to light off the more your plants will stretch, not good in a small space. I also run out of a very cold basement and running...

Yes they do come up in nature during the spring when it's not hot and there is plenty of low light days with very little uv.

Cfl will run less then $7 I believe you want 6500k I have tried with 600w mh and learned the hard way. So I can't imagine much success with a 1k mh. I actually use 8000k which isn't common but works great for me, but your correct 6500k is what is normally suggested. Also remember what is good...
