nute burn?????

got a fan in there?intake or exhaust... ur lighting is fine it was the trimming that made me think it was stretching
 
can you elaborate on stretching? is there difference between growth spurts and stretching? do you mean stretching for light?

I think that's what he means. Light to far= long, weak stem due to the plant reaching for light. During the first few weeks of 12/12 there is a "growth spurt".
 
yes stretching as if your light was to far away ... but then i seen all of your side growth was tops, and that u had cut the fan leafs that make a plant busshy
 
u want to keep ur hps and mhs a good distance u may have this dialed in already...but with no fan leaves ur plant wont get bushy, any ways u want a distance that doesnt burn ur leaf but has good penetration thru the foliage.... signs ur to close would be leafs twisting,wilting, canoe-ing , tips burnt and turning up toward light.. dry crispy leaves... with mh or hps u can keep ur light pretty far....id start at 24 inches from top and drop an inch till u see canoeing.... raise in two inch increments if u do see canoe-ing..
 
aaahhhhh please elaborate.. i am going for bushy plants with multiple tops..

I just topped my big bud for a second time. After much reading and research I've decided to only trim beneath the first set of long fan leaves before 12/12, in about 2 weeks, and then around the 2 or 3 week of flower, remove undergrowth that isn't receiving light and tuck whatever I can so the plant keeps it's nutrients and the bud sites get much better lighting and air flow. Continue reading and growing and you'll find out what works best for you.

Lollipoping ...... its awesome im gonna try this when i put my vegging plants in flower... too scared to stress out the plants i have in flower already they are coming up on 2-1/2 weeks imma keep it simple and secure a for sure harvest...
 
potsmoker if you havent already and are looking for bushy well yeilding plants do some studying and trials on Supercropping, fimming , mosnter cropping and scrog ..... find a method u like but try them all
 
yea ive done a little super cropping it looks really good.. Scrog is what ill probably do along with some LST and topping... ive seen alot of friends grow but never knew the science of it! stilldont
