Its my first grow: 4 plants in a 3ft x 2 ft area. 250w HPS.
I fixed the screen about 12 inches over the medium.
From what I read, I have to switch 12/12 when 60-75% of the screen made contact with the plants.
3 plants grew thru the screen a week sooner than the fourth plant, so I had to wait and they were vegging exactly for a month when I decided to switch to 12/12, and the screen was just filled 50% then.
I placed one plant in each corner and I was planning to direct the main stems to the center of the screen.
Currently its their 3rd day flowering and I noticed that I'm going to have problem with the space, as there is only one row left separating the upper left and upper right plant.
From what I understand they will continue to stretch much more during the first couple weeks of flowering.
Now is this normal, or how should I handle this? Raise the screen? What should I do when the squares in the middle are filled, just let them grow thru it? Cuz at this rate, they will be growing way over the screen....
Thanks!!!
First two pictures, when I started flowering. Last picture is today, 3rd day flowering
