Hello Just a quick one. I was wondering if lack of dirt air removeal will cause stretch? I have a few plants about 6" tall under a 1000w mh about 8 -9" above the plant on a mover running across the room. But like 2 or 3 of my plants are stretching. and its only these couple. Could i not be getting enought of the dirty air out of the room??
 
Nothing to do with the air - it's how far away the light is. Also, just like us, you get individuals as plants, as well - some will just stretch more than others. For instance - I have five Lemon Skunk in veg right now. Under CFL's, so the light is always close (a couple of inches). But I have one medium height, super bushy plant, two tall semi-bushy plants, and two short semi-bushy plants - all female.
 
DoeEyed is right. if possible, you should move your light closer.

Im having the same stretching issues in my garden.(I anticipated it tho.) i've got a Himalayan Gold trying to reach too high. I'm starting mine under a 430 Son Agro HPS. I wasn't able, until recently, to move my light close as I would've surely burnt them.

If your curious to look, the link to my grow journal is in my sig...

Good luck with those ladies, friend!
 
In that case, I'd just buy some stakes to help em' stand up straight, and put a fan on em'.

Some strains just grow fast. I've heard it said that 'Trainwreck' is named for its ability to make your growroom look like a damn trainwreck.

Help em' stand up. They'll hopefully strengthen up 4 ya'.

Good luck.
 
yea those high watt lights are nice but when starting seedlings and cuttings its nice to have a cool light i.e: fluorescent or cfl that you can shove right down on the girls!! dont you know girls like to cuddle!!??
