First time grower, Day 31 in flower. 3 different plants, how are they looking so far? Any feedback is appreciated! 1st pic is Jungle Driver (Sundae Driver #19 x Jungle Cake) bred by Jungle Boys. 2nd pic is Black Cherry Poundcake Bred By 42. Last pic is a Jungle Driver late bloomer.
They are correct ... but they always stretch during the first 3+ weeks of flower. Just normal stuff. Some strains will stretch more than others but they all do it.
Now comes the bud beefing part for the next 3+ weeks.
They do look a bit stretched, but I wouldn't worry. As long as you harvest at the proper time and cure properly you will be happy with the product. The buds could possibly be a bit thin, but it's nothing to worry about. What kind of lighting do you use?
I don't know much about LEC or CMH. I would personally use either HPS or LED for flowering. But in this case, I woul definitely go led. Size of tent matters, in a 2x4 tent I would go with a long skinny led like one of the following. Much better coverage than using hid with it's single point light origin.
Ultra High Efficiency LED Boards for DIY. QB288 has 288pcs Samsung LM301H LED. 320 Watt Lamp Kit suited for main light and supplement lighting. 3 ft. long heatsink for a wider spread.

I have the 260W version I bought for a 2x4 tent I have. Used it once and it worked very well. If I were to do it over again though I would go with the 320 myself, but either one is fine for a 2x4.
