Mr. @Graysin when you say drop the hammer on them at this point, how intense you talking?! I see that they are flowering really fast in my opinion. I am at 4 wks and at 20 to 25 dli depending where they are placed in tent. So now is a good time to intensify becauae they growing so fast ?? Please elaborate a little if you don’t mind so i know what to do now and for future grows. And you said before she stretches above tent, you just pulling my leg right?! Lmao! By the way they are drinking a gallon plus every third day! Today i lst some more and gave them a watering with microbes

Since we have the same light @The_Chef normally at 4 weeks and flowering quickly what is the highest dli within reason if growing well and drinking really well? Im currently at 23-25 dli for the past 3 days. How high can i go??

I suppose its hard for me to imagine since they are all under a foot tall as we speak and i don’t have a clue i’ve never seen it happen before. Growing twice its size in a few days and some say even 3 times its size at times! Is that red tape?? I just had two branches break on me!! :worried:

I can almost promise my light rail will have to come down to make headroom…lol. they can go vertical in a heartbeat. Yes red tape on bends. It will fall off later.

Ask @Dave to show you a few pics of what an unruly stretch looks like. His plants may be holding him hostage by now :rofl:

Why on bends if you dont mind me asking. Like to learn some new tricks if you don’t mind. I did realize they heal up quickly. It happened last week and today its as if it never happened! Amazing! However it still a shock :tired_face: when it happens!

Protection while building a knot. Support since just cropped. Keeps out bad things on weak area. I used needlenose pliers this time. Hard stems. Soft squeeze a few times till a pop…gentle bend in several small imcrements so no break. Tape…forget them and soldier on.

Awesome! Needle nose plyers!! Definitely will use when supercroping!! I think thats what its called, lol! Good to know!! Thanks!

If use them it is SUPER gentle. If soft enough to squeeze with fingers go that way first I suggest. This girl is just rock hard stems. Wet all the time living soil so never get soft. Others I use fingers.

@The_Chef i want to ask and i don’t at the same time but i’m getting closer and i want to have a some idea. What should be expected if all goes well. What would be a reasonable yield on average? I remember reading somewhere one can know by the amount of watts. How true is that?

@The_Chef never mind!! I don’t want to know. I rather be surprised than disappointed! However i do want to know or have an estimate of when do i know that i have to flip them and start them at 12/12 please advise thanks! @SilvaBack203 @Newt @Jimtroutbum @Storm @Graysin what must i look for or what should i know before i do flip. Any and all advice appreciated as always!!

I plan my flips based on the height of my plants. Plan on them doubling in height, and make sure you don’t crowd your light.
