If spaces is a issue than kandy kush is a mega mega stretcher in flower, I think I have slowed down now , day 14 tomorrow, I had a inch of grow atleast every day for the first 10 days or so, on a side note this thing stinks so bad in a good way. You'll love the sour kush aka headband, very easy to grow , easy to clone and very bendable during flower if that helps.

looks awesome man, those babies are gunna real big the first 2 weeks..a 400w might not be strong enough i know my plants were like 3.5 feet tall and bottom 3rd of the plant was scraggy buds

That's why I'm adding about 200w of CFL's to the grow around the plants on the outside and above the 2 on the outside as well. They will all get a descent amount of light. I don't think I let them get to big before I flipped. I think I will be alright. Plus I will lollipop the shit of them.

I've noticed from past grows that the plants tend to stretch for about 21 days after you flip to 12/12. After the initial 21 days after the flip, the plants seem to stop stretching and just pack on the buds and hopefully the trichs during the rest of the time flowering. That has been my experience with the plants that I have grown.

So I decided to LST the OG#18 and Blue Cheese a little bit. Just to get some light down in the middle of the plant. I snapped a brach and had to use some duct tape to fix her up. It's nothing I'm concerned about. The Ak-47 is growing super fast. It is already 25" tall and maybe even bigger around. The OG is about 18" tall and the Blue Cheese is 16" tall. The AK is growing like an inch a day which is pretty fast. It's outgrowing the other strains, so I guess I will have to keep something under the other 2 pots so that the canopy is somewhat even for the lighting. I had no idea that the Ak would get so big. I had heard that the OG#18 stretched quite a bit during the 12/12 stretch, but I'm still waiting. I knew that the Blue Cheese was going to be a short plant since it's an indica dominant plant. I am starting to see some pistils forming on all of the plants. Just a few here and there. Plus you can tell that the new growth is just looking different all together. I can't wait on these babies to start doing there thing. I am feeling so damn impatient right now.

So what type of stretch do you expect from the og 18 in flower, is it suppose to double or triple size? And patients is always hard lol.

I'm not quite sure what to expect as far as stretch with the #18. This is my 1st time growing this strain, but I figured from what I have read about this strain from others growing it that it will at least double in size. The AK-47 is growing super fast compared to the others. Like an inch a day fast. I just checked them out a few minutes ago, and they are really starting to smell and they all have started showing female pistils. I can't wait to see some bud formations. This is by far my favorite part of growing!
