That's what happens when you provide wonky lighting combined with no lst, I think.
Naww, just another jealous troll. Read more and you'll get more knowledge on this strain. It is normal for this strain to get 6 feet tall or more when you pretty much leave it alone, especially when grown outdoors with excellent sunlight. You going to call the sun wonky light as well noob?

Why didn't you pull the plant down sideways and supercrop it instead of allowing it to grow up into the lights?

Its actually only 1 led light it is growing into and only because that specific one doesn't get too hot
LED lights will still bleach a plant from being too close even if they don’t get hot. If it’s not bleaching a plant that is growing into it then the light is very weak.

Also, i didn't supercrop because that first temporarily slows down plant and second, increases its chances of becoming hermie as a result of stress and especially when the genetics of the seeds already have a fair amount of hermie in some

Growing into lights is more stressful than super cropping and also leads to hermies.

Thats not an LED. lol you kill me man. I am amused by your posts, keep up the good work.
Thats not the light i am talking and no, the plant is not growing into the light at the ceiling, maybe you just cannot see the space between those tubes, that is where the tall one rests. While you call me funny, it is you, like many on here who are too quick to post

Not at all, the led has been there for over a week certain leaves and branch was always touching. The bleaching is from heat not light. I know, ive bleached leaves in the past with too hot lights. Do you need a pic closeup as proof? Its not rocket science. Much less than the nute fanatics on here

There are 2 tube fixtures which the plant you are referring to is actually growing in between the fixtures and not into the tube!

But they are not. It is YOU that is simply too quick to post ASSumptions
Why are you so rude? Look, man, I can understand if you are on a budget and are perfectly happy with what you have, but you are misleading a lot of new growers. Yes, plants can be grown in lighting that is not optimal, but they shouldn't be unless it is all you can provide. You are doing well with what you have, and nobody is arguing that. All anyone is saying is that you could do so much better with more adequate lighting. Acting like you know some secret, that goes against everything science has taught us about plants, isn't fooling anybody who has been growing for awhile. You are just making yourself appear to be either ignorant of the facts, or in denial, and it doesn't help you or anyone else. Instead of getting defensive you should just admit you are doing what you can do within your budget and you'll get a lot more respect here.

i can even use these tubes and with fan blowing on them the heat becomes less enough to a point where there's no burning. The tubes run at 38c. The leaves handle around 33c. With the fan blowing on the tubes oscillating, the leaves wont burn. Its not the light. Take away that fan and it burns. My previous grow i discovered this but this time its only touching the 1 led

I can't tell if you are talking about fluorescent or LED here, but high power LEDs that are too close will damage the plants from the intensity of the light, not the heat created by them.
