Bluedream: very Lanky sativa pheno

SideNote

Well-Known Member
Hello!

So I have HSO Bluedream growing amongst other 2 plants under 400W HPS. Other two plants (Strawberry Cough - sativa/indica hybrid) are doing good, they are all 4 weeks today on 12/12 and flowering nicely. Except the extremely lanky sativa pheno, as you can see from pics. She is flowering very slowly and throwing only few hairs and no frost, compared to other plants. Also they are much taller than other plants and stretch was massive towards light.
Any idea if I got this 100% sativaish phenotype or something wrong with the plant / environment for her?

They are all growing in coco.
Feeding Canna line Coco A + Coco B 1.8 ml/ 1L + PK13/14 1.5 ml / 1L

it's fine let her go. My OG grows like that and it is one of the best one I have just give her time and she will come along she's just a bit slower than the rest.....

Here are some photos with lights off. She has grown to the ceiling of the tent now. Supercrop while flowering (4 weeks running) ?
As I mentioned two other plants (also sativa-indica hybrids Strawberry Cough) in the same tent are doing good and flowers are fat already.
They were all vegged 20 / 4 - light / dark cycle for 2 months with HPS dual-spectrum bulb.
Tent dims are: 1 x 1 x 2 meters (3x3x6 feet)...

Super crop or tie a string to the top and pull it over more and more each day.

Super cropping won't hurt a bit as long as you are not too rough. Work the stalk or limbs between your thumb and pointer finger like flattening a straw. Work gently until the tissue softens and then bend her over. If the stem breaks or cracks stake it into position bent over and tape the damage up.

Yeah, that is typical pure sativa pheno, not my favorite at all. I just got a pack of HSO's BD, and now I'm hoping I don't get this pheno.

You could tie a string to the top and put a weight on the end to bend them over - just a little at first and then shorten the string every day until the top is bent over 90 degrees and matches the height of the other plants (that way you can lower your light to give maximum light to the whole room and not burn the BDs).
<EDIT> Hah, Whitebb2727 beat me to it, lol.

I used a a couple of metal washers as weights once on a monster I had like this...

Lol, done that before - a couple of grows I decided to grow a few monsters and just tie them all down sideways, which turns them into small hedges. Instead of weights I put 4" vinyl fencing material on the floor so I could just tie everything down that way. Always more than one way to skin a cat ;?)

You gotta know how to run sativas indoors. Suppress growth with excess light, run nighttime temperatures higher than day temps.
Regularly spray bottom of the plant with kelp to direct growth away from the top. Etc. You would still need to do topping and supercropping.
