Most people say keep ur lights as close as possible without burn but when I've done this yea I get tight tight nodes but I like to set my
Lights a hair hirer then most people so they stretch lil more , I got my
LEDs to do the penetrating so I'm not worried bout not enough light to lower branches , but prayin I mean , the leaves
Will be almost straight up or at a well above horizontal level , when I've have my
Lights close in the past I've not seen this as much , but to me when there leaves r
Up high prayin so to speak u know everytbing is good growing when they need something like water they will go level or droop some
More , but if ur leaves never stand up then some Dnt no if it's normal or need water or whatever , and it's a beiatufl thing to see 20 plants leaves straight up looking good not just some over hung leaves lookin ok .. And I've had good success ,. I used to keep my lights at 12 to 13 I stay around 18 to 20 been working great but I got LEDs to supplement

Yeah the grow box was from general hydro, I wasn't planning on using all them I didn't think I'd need to I was gonna use the veg and flora though. I'm not sure what term praying means, if you could explain a little bit. I was thinking I might need to move the lights a little higher since they're short and bushy I'll do that today. They are about a month old I want to say and had a rough start, you can check earlier on in this thread there's pics, and info about what I was going through. BusyBee has been a huge help kind of guiding me through my first grow, my shit would've been a wreck by now if he didn't come in and tell me I was fuc*** up haha! General Hydro seems to be an awesome organic line, and by looking at Busys yields it seems to do the job well! I'll keep updating on this thread throughout my whole grow.

I'd hate to say it but his advice about running veg nutes into flower is misinformation. There are actually 4 phazez of flower. Not just veg/flower/harvest. As soon as she displays calyx and pistols, she is beginning her flower stage and will stretch no matter what as a natural process to make room for large healthy flowers. MY advice is keep giving them what you are giving them. Just monitor the dosage. Never start full strength. And make sure your starting light and increase ppm gradually. Get armour SI if you want long full branches

I'll run what I no works and what works for me weather u think it's misinformation or not it's based off my experience and my grow of what works and what I've seen from a top notch auto grower . Not sayin stay on heavy veg nutes I'm sayin Dnt got directly into a bloom nute formula keep ur n higher until the stretch stops , and have ur ever tried this method I'm speaking of if not then ur goin off oppions based on what u read rather then growing trial and error ... I'm sure my soil mix is plenty good enough to not add nutes till the very end as I only run a low ppm not in compared to most , but again what I've seen and done may not work for others, just like people sayin u can't top autos or that's wrong you shouldn't do or cut off all the leaves in flowering week 3 or whatever it's being done and can be done so it can't be complete mis information if it's working well for people . Just sayin ,

I'm just sayin I keep my N UP UNTILL END OF STRETCH AND MIGHT RAISE MY P-K so if u wanna call it a transition feed then call it that , but I Dnt drop my A ml/gal till the stretch slows , works for me gonna keep it that way ... There is a lot of people callin bull shit on things that they haven't tried or Dnt Belive or is bad info , I'd never call a grower out on what's working for him . Just like most say run hps all thru flower I run hps till last 1 week ish the go full MH with LEDs full cycles , been workin , some say no u can't do that bad info . If ur dialed in ur dialed in no matter what everyone else says is right or wrong . I've offered help to many never had a bad review here or at home but everyone should take info knowning that what works for some may not be the best for others untill u figure it out it took me a while to get that veg stretch bloom shit dialed in I didn't just do it over night and got it right .... Opinions r like assholes thou Everyone has one

You guys obviously do what you want. It's only my opinion based on auto flower and regular female. I'm 40 and been trial and error growing since I was smoking. I was offering my opinion to a fellow grower who is in pure organic grow from soil to nutes. I've been showing him MY results and I grow FIRE. Big fat solid resin covered100% organic bud. I was simply telling him what I thought. Didn't mean to offend you personally.

Didn't loose any noticeable weight in that time and man o man does it smell great and taste great and gets you bleeping STONED. The glue-berry smells amazing like berries with a hint of lemon peels. Has an instant head high with a body high working in after 20-30minutes. The chemdawg doesn't have the overwhelming pungent odor, but busted open it has a fruity/fuel like smell. But is far better than I anticipated. No bull, this chem is fire. I can't see for a minute after taking my first nice rip. My head pulsates hot instantly behind my eyes releasing stress and placing you into a happy giddy mood. Munchies are a must, and if smoked too heavily will knock you out. The last two pics are of each side by side.

Well here is an update! I definitely stunted it seems like, but they are all producing decent I'd say. My one with the rust spots didn't survive :( I know they're not perfect but I'm happy I didn't completely screw them up, I learned a lot from you guys so thank you very much especially Busy much love to y'all. Any comments or constructive criticism would be awesome! Will keep updating!WP_20160601_21_56_55_Pro.jpg WP_20160601_21_56_59_Pro.jpg WP_20160601_21_57_03_Pro.jpg

Are your temps and air circulation good? There is quite a bit of tacoing going on. Maybe heat stress?

Peace

Not sure what the term tacoing is. Heat doesn't seem to be a problem, but the only air circulation I have is the fan on the ceiling I leave running all day with the closet cracked a little, and Is it to late to fix?

I gotta concur on the Heat Stress. You gotta get that closet a little cooler imo... However, it is very difficult to tell with the LED lighting, but are the tips of those leaves getting yellow, they sure look like it how old is she?

Alright I'll get a fan in there asap, and yes there is some yellowing going on. I planted them mid march so around 6 to 7 weeks
