Are there any good things about a stretched plant

[atomica92]

Hi I'm atomica92 and I have three plants growing,but I kinda placed my light to far away...I was wondering if anything good can actually come of this

um, |NO. Nothing good has ever come from a stretched plant other than the fact that in reality, it's taller. Other than that, they're often long and lanky, which makes for some pretty weak nugs in the end. What I've found to be of importance for growing nice fatnugs, is tight node spacing from the get-go. I'm talkin and inch or less between nodes. This tight nodal spacing aids in nice nugs tremendously.

Well, IF it doesn't damp off (fall n' pinch) you might be able to train it to whichever side it want's to lean to, which would allow some light lower on the plant, which should result in more vegetation over a wider area.

just give em more lights and a fan so the stems can get stronger...you can do it...

 

[atomica92]

thnx for all the help as far as close lights and a fan got that going right now so were clear...so nothing potentially bad will happen though as long as I keep up the new setup right?

 

[atomica92]

will update with new pics tomorrow see more leaves forming one has eight already

 

[atomica92]

here's a newb ? do male plants produce any bud at all...not that I can tell the sex yet just curious

 

[hawaiinsolja]

sweet look forward to seeing the new pics but yea this is basically how u want a plant to look like using cfl's

i had the light on em 1 and 1/3 of an inch away the since i planted the germinated seeds but becareful as they do grow 1 1/3 of an inch sometimes and you might burn ur leaves lol happened to me allready

 

[saynotothebs]

no bud from a male all that energy goes to makeing nice big juicy seeds...

 

[hawaiinsolja]

and male plants produce resin to make hash with thats about all

 

[atomica92]

well theres a little good from them at least but like I said too early to tell...and at least seeds are good too

 

[atomica92]

most of the tree these came from were medical from California's gracious prop 15...I'm thinking more likely hood to be fems

 

[atomica92]

hopefully at least

 

[kwagner420]

may i ask what kinda lights those are compact floursent?

 

[atomica92]

yeah no prob they are 26 watt 6500k daylight bulbs CFL's are good so far

 

[Budda_Luva]

theres onyl one advantage to haveing a strecthed plant in early stages but ur over did it a lil but if u get more lights and a fan like that guy said u can fix ur poblem quick

 

[atomica92]

yeah I figured I overshot any good to come of it...but my babies are doin good now can't wait to see tomorrow

 

[atomica92]

did I mention that I'm using miracle grow

just pot it up into a bigger pot upto the first set of leaves and roots will grow from all that wasted stem giving you a massive rootball thus making the stretch usefull
