Stretching and Flowering

[paltema]

Can you move the lights up and cause a plant to stretch while its in the flowering cycle? If you did do this could/would it be beneficial to the yield?

It will have plenty of time to stretch during the dark period. Stretching is not a good thing anyway.

i suppose maybe if your doing a vertical grow with sativas a little stretch is good but it should stretch enough during that first few weeks of 12/12

it looks like you started late. next time start earlier. here's what a perf lst'd sativa should look like

this allows for more grow shoots to fight to become the main canopy

ill get my camera working tomorrow thats aleady 2 weeks ago it looks alot differnt now i try to even out all the shoots that come up to make it a flat i have a bunch of room and a 1000 watt light thats y i was thinking of lettng it grow higher now b4 it was in a smaller space

 

[r420wi]

but i swear have a bunch of bigger bud spots comeing out of the top if i had to guess i would say about 14 big ones and alot of smaller 1s like about 20 or so

i'm still wondering if there's ever a point where you can't tie them down. but i dont think i'm anywhere near it
