Hi I’ve got some gorilla bomb on the go and ended up veggin for longer than expected and I just read they like to stretch a lot during flower so gonna run into height problems has anyone got any suggestions to help slow down the stretch any suggestions will be helpful thanks
 
Thanks for such a quick reply! Good idea I knew mh helped keep the plants short less internod length but didn’t think of carrying the bulbs through to flower gonna try this one out what about supercropping in early flower? I have supercropped quite a bit already but wether to do it in flower I’m unsure of any input will be good thanks

During the stretch if you keep your day and night temperature the same they stretch less.

Alot of people make a 10 degree difference right off the bat . Imo its better to wait until their done stretching to lower night temps
 
Thanks for the reply’s gotta take em all on board as I can see me running out of space pretty quick lol they have been vegging for about 8 weeks got about double the size of the plant to the actual light and obviously can’t have em double as I need room between the h.i.d and the tops
 
+1 with the super crop first 2 weeks.
Its the only thing that saved my ass on 3 of my plants.

This is one that I had to supercrop before I even flipped and had to do it several more times up until the end of week two. It was getting massive quickly and was almost 2x the size of the rest, now its a crazy jungle of a plant taking up all of the empty space of the 2 sites near it that I had to pull males out of. Theres one secondary cola thats leaning on the tent wall that ive let go and its nearly at my roof, with the size of my totes it makes that cola over 5ft tall.
I have no idea what the strain is, but its a monster of a plant.

That would of been my option if I had a tent or something but it’s a room and there growing in 26 litre fabric pots with space between them as to not crowd each other and I’m not running a hydro system so feed by hand would be impossible for me to water under a scrog net lol cheers anyway man
 
You alright guys I’ve ran into a problem possibly nitrogen toxicity I’ve got clawing leafs on most of the plants how bad is it for the plants overall performance yeild quality wise as I’ve just flipped to flower what do u lot recomend doing a full flush or just cutting right down on nutes? Feeding plain water for the next couple
