clones too long in small pots, need advice please

Hello,


Because of many reasons i left my clones for three weeks on small pots and they don't seem to be happy right now. They stretched too much and have little leaves and a thin stem. I had 200 clones for 10 lamps but deceided to put 2 in a 7 ltr pot and spread them over 4 lamps. For the other room (6 lamps) i will buy new clones.


4 days ago i put them in these pots, fimmed them and gave them water with some Nitrogen because they're a little yellow. Normally i get 2 kilo's from this 4 lamp room. Can i still get my 2 kilo's or are the plants damaged too much? Will the root system grow big or is it better to get new clones? Anyone experience with this situation?


They are Amnesia's btw and since yesterday on 12/12. Pictures are from today.




Thanks,


Robert

What kind of light and what is the strain? They look to be sativas.Generally stretching plants mean not enough light., also sativas tend to be tall and langy....just my opinion.

Those leaves are sativa dominant

I have done some pretty miserable things to my ladies in the past, way worse than leaving them in small pots for a month. I left them in small pots in a cool garage with hardly any light for 8 weeks. Suprisingly they took off as soon as I placed them in bigger pots with new soil under the lights. The only thing I would worry about is hermi's, but if they are stable genetics all should be fine. Might be a little taler than you want them, but if height restrictions is not a problem then all is good. I try to be nice to my ladies now, they seem much happier with me that way, but to tell you the truth I am not too tall and have always liked tall ladies anyways lol.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies. We just had a baby so there are family and friends over all the time and no time to take care of my plants. There are still 200 plants in 100 7 liter pots. Didn't check temperature or anything just gave them 100 liters of water (corrected, with nutrients) every 3 days. This is what they look like now, i'm pretty happy...



The leaf tips are a little burned by over-fertilization but they seem pretty happy. I changed my bulbs today because i had them for over a year, sprayed them with naam-oil to get rid of bugs and bended them over so they're all the same height. My girl and baby are with her mother so i can do what i want tonight... I will post an update right before harvest.

pot size effects mostly how often you will have to water, and the concentration of nutes you administer and at which time.

smaller pots disadvantage organic growers mostly

otherwise, the plant doesn't give two shits really. 1.5 gallons is all that is needed for a full adult sized plant
