fdd2blk 2010 Outdoor Grow Thread

[researchkitty]

Plants looking droopy or is that just the photo angle? They look very tall and skinny, a little surprised. Remember I dont grow anything outdoors and will probably learn one day! Something about being able to do 12/12 indoor all year around that I love............... Is there a place folks use to determine daylight hours for their locations?

my plants stretch under MH, for some unknown reason. i keep the light right on top of them the minute they sprout. they stretch until they get under the HPS or outside. i don't know why. notice the small plants under the hps are nice and short and on the way to bushy? the tall ones all spent at least a month or 2 under mH. the small ones maybe a week.

in two months you'll never even know they looked like this.

i go outside to determine daylight hours.

 

[Tunda]

They say the red spectrums of the hps keep shorter internodes and less stretching . Blue spectrums usually cause plants to stretch.

 

[theloadeddragon]

I suggest you look up phytochromes, cryptochromes, and phototropins Tunda.

is that an old MH lamp?
i almost never have that problem with the stretching, unless its strain related... usually when i stick a batch under the 400w, it actually shortens the internode length... thats wierd you have so much stretching.... lights to far away? mine are less than 12" from the tops at all times, regardless of stage of growth (except seedlings )

i said "lights right on top of them". multiple strains. i'm not looking for any answers. it's too late for all that. i'm on to other things.

Not at all IMO. I just got a kick out of it. You, me and many others know how how they'll take off once they hit that golden cali sunshine Kind of like the ugly duckling

 

[eza82]

LOL, yep that will do it Be sure to trim the bottom roots a bit when you put in the ground.

 

[mygirls]

how long has it been growing in that cup.

 

[kylen]

im the only noob to post a comment lol, subd

 

[Beaner]

lol and i thought mine were stretching! that's just bad looking! i hope it was your bulb because i can't think of anything else that would cause that much stretching...lol your gonna have to bury the bottom 3/4ths of those plants... i don't even want to take pics of my seedlings till they get a week or two of sunlight, you have more balls than i do!
