og gth#1 stretch before flower

I have six og gth #1 which I grew unfortunately in 2 litre pots for 2 months before transplanting to 9 litre pots (biggest size I could fit). I topped on the 2nd true node and again for 4 main heads which stretched alot before transplant. I cut around the sides of the pots and pulled basically a sock of roots off. Then after transplant bent each head over tied to the edge of the new pots and let them grow. They ended up with four main heads on the outside and 8 smaller heads coming out the middle like a crater.

I figured they were still stretching so after 2 weeks more veg I flipped them to 12/12 for a total of 2.5 months veg time. 11pm to 11am. Two weeks flowering I found a light leak and could no longer have the lights on at night and changed to 7am to 7pm. By now the smaller middle branches have caught up to the main branches... both the former and the latter having like 6 inch nodal distances.. its ridiculous. Total of 3.5 weeks flowering now, 5 female and only one male. White hairs becoming more numerous and thickening with the tops starting to look like flowers. Plants are still only about 50-60cm total height from top of the pot with extremely long nodal distances at the bottom... stacking closer together the further up the branch you go. Started applying colloidal silver solution to one of 2nd best female smaller middle branches which havent still got hairs yet and are extremely thin.. are these suitable for pollon production?

I think the light leak is repaired now and am comfortable enough to change them back to 11pm to 11am. I made some changes to my room and now have alot more height to play with. It has been really cold lately and since the lights are no longer on at night temps as low as 9 degrees celcius and max of only 17 degrees, but it will get warmer soon. My question is should I try to change the cycle back to 11pm-11am to improve night time (lights on) temps or just leave them as they are (7am-7pm) to avoid light stress? And also are they still going to double their height? If not should I try revert back to veg and make more use of extra height available? Or will this again cause more stress... I don't want to hermie them.

Also I had a stocking over a male plants branch (other branches have been trimmed of pollen sacks). It was getting a bit tall so I thought I'd take it off, bend it over and put it on again. I noticed after I took the stocking off that one or two of the sacks have split open... did I just pollinate my whole crop?

hey bro sorry you feel the way about the site, however, if you lookin for advise as to you pollinating your whole crop I seriously doubt thats happen. Whats the point of the CS are you trying to make your own seeds?

Sorry just seems alot of the time I make posts no one replies. But thanks for the replies.

Ugh I pulled the stocking off and it was more difficult than I thought and it flicked off, didnt really see a pollen explosion but maybe some dust in the air has anyone tried using a "cock sock"? What panicked me was seeing the two split open pods. I wasent sure how potent pollen is but from the sounds of it not too much to worry about... 7 to 7 for about 2 weeks now, was on 11pm to 11am for 2 weeks prior, and still vegging two weeks prior to that. I mainly want to switch back to 11 to 11 to even out the day/night temperatures again.

What effects could the cold temps be having? Will it diminish yeild or just increase flower time? Strictly been 26 days since the 12/12 flip and they look nowhere as developed as they should be. My question is, is the development/yield stunted or will it just take a while longer? As I have said they had been vegging for 2.5 months prior to flip but even after that long veg time I think it may still have been immature as hairs were just starting to emerge before the flip due to the long flower time of the sativa so its difficult to determine the actual flowering progress IMO.

And yes the CS is for fem seeds... been spraying for a week or so now and the hairs still haven't shrivelled up and turned into pods. I hope its not too late. I picked a branch that was still maturing to spray, as in the second node down doesn't have calyx's yet.

Show me some love and I'll show some pics. Winner of last years cannabis cup 2012.

they are def n shock from lights changing if they arent formed yet. if i was gonna go from 7-7 to 11-11 when lights come on at 7 am i would turn em off at 11 am and start your 12 12 there. no telling about your pollen until you see if any thing pollinated. only 2 pods i prob wouldnt worry too much...
