my plants are very healthy looking, but with stretch i'm concerned a bit! pls help (:

Hi guys,

I'm currently running a sog with a lot of mixed strains, blueberry, powerplant,orangebud,ultra skunk, blue dream, strawberry blue etc.

I have 21 of them in a 1m square diy growbox.

using airpots 3l ones for the first time, seems growing faster in them, some plants are germinated on the first of this month and others week later or so, there are some pics attached.

running on a 600w dual spec bulb, but till now ballast is set on 250w and the cooltube is about 20cm close to the plants. they seem to have enough light till now. I think next week I will hi 400w.

about nutes I'm giving them AN sensi grow 2 parts, stated quarter dose going up to half.

had some problems with thrips last 4 days, but I sprayed with ph'd water n liquid soap, cleaned box with bleach, drenched soil and now I cant see any of them. lets hope it stays that way heh..

cheers guys, thanks a lot to read and Hope to learn something new, peace.. .

just a random question
how old are they

Seeds germinated on 1st till 7th of this month then I've planted the seedlings directly into the pots.

Looking good friend, had a similar problem in my grow, but some soapy water and better airflow fixed it right up. I'll keep tuned for more pick's. Good luck and happy growing

hi massdefect!

yes man that soap solves the problem, and I've heard that if you put some in the soil it will help to penetrate better watering,

anyways, my problem was about stretch, some plants like 7 out of 20 seems to be stretchin a bit high between a node to another. especially the blueberry and orangebud, what should I do?

topping? hmmmm

I was going to mention the light distance but 20 cm should be close enough, if you can stand a few extra weeks of veg go ahead and lolypop them ladies. Takes a lil more time but in my opinion worth it In the long run.
I have never used the soap solution in my soil, but sounds legit.
