You're saying gorilla glue stretched from 1 and 1/3 ft to 6.6ft? At most it would stretch to 3 times its height at flip. Not to be a dick but that's not believable.

It all depends really on your ceiling height, distance from hanger to light and distance from light to plant. But at most a plant shouldn't stretch to more than 3x its veg height at flip imo....

Its 5-6 , not 6,6 sorry. But yes majority was between 5-6. So the way lights are hang its dificult to lower them so if it stretches 3x thats perfect i should flip now but if they double light will be around 30 inch away

But back to my point anyone had mimosa strain ? Its considered exotic strain and i think its sativa dominant. My main concern is if i flip now what if they stretch just 1x ?

I've grown it once and just about doubled in size if that helps any. It is a stretcher. Lighting and environment all play a role though.

I keep my night temp at 62 to 65 deg for all my grows. They were purple right from the beggining. Guess that was just the pheno idk.

Plants usually stretches' 2 to 3x it's height during flower depending on genetics. Also to get purple it's usually genetics and flowering in cooler temps.
