So recently I've started posting my questions on here about growing. I got kind of tired googling things and searching for answers that fit my questions so I figure I'll ask them in hopes that some growers could possibly help me out.
My question is: I have a Northern Light clone that I put directly into flower (mother that the clone was taken from was about 8+ weeks old), since the mother was already in the flowering tent I went ahead and did a splash of the WEAK nutrient water mix I was using for the mom. I noticed that the clone stayed rather short, didn't really stretch and after a week or two it had small flowers on it while being only about 7" in height MAXIMUM.
Now, I took a few Jock Horror clones from a mom that was only about a month old and then I threw them directly into flowering after they rooted. I put them in 1 gallon grow bags with FFOF soil. I decided I wasn't going to feed them for the first few weeks because I had done that before with 12/12 from seed and it seemed to work out well. I noticed this week they seem to be growing more vertically than the Northern Light clone was.
I am wondering if this is because I didn't give them any bloom nutes but rather let them take the nutes from the fox farm ocean forest soil. I understand Jock Horror is a sativa and Northern Light (from nirvana) is primarily an indica, but I still would like to know if my immediate use of bloom nutes on the NL clone had any effect on its vertical growth? Does feeding bloom nutes pretty much halt vertical growth?
If this needs to be worded better just let me know. Thanks in advance for any of the responses I may get.
EDIT: I AM USING A 430 WATT FLORALUX HPS LAMP FOR FLOWERING.
