That is just a sign that the plant is mature, not a sign that it's almost done stretching. If you veg your plants until maturity, you will notice inter-node spacing.See how the uppermost nodes are getting tight and alternating? That's a sign that the plant is ready to stop growing upwards and start putting it's power into bud production. They shouldn't get much bigger. It's looks like you can still bend a little more, so it's going to be close. It's really hard to make that call, so, all i can say is "keep bending", and wish you good luck.
so its still going to grow aways even if i get ride of the hood and try suck the lights up has high as it can go i still only got lik9 inchs or so
you only got a oz how many plants did u have and how tall were they bro
You were hoping for a QP? On average from my 3 foot plants with over 280watts of CFL that was surrounding the sides and above the plant I would average half an oz. CFL will not give you big yields, it's great as a stealth grow but not if your going for some major weight. And remember when ya harvest you will lose on average 75% of it's wet weight and it will shrink considerably.
u only get a half oz of alll 5 plants i was hopeing for atleast a half oz of each plant
Half oz per plant brah. You need less nitrogen when flowering. You deff wanna go off the veg nutes and get flowering nutes. There are some on this site that claim you don't need bloom nutes, but ya do. And there's an ongoing debate if by adding cfl's of the same wave length will increase lumens. You will find that many believe if you have 5 cfl's that emit 500 lumens that you will have a total of 2500 lumens. While others say that if the lights is all on the same wave length that your light coverage expands but lumens don't. So don't be so sure on how many lumens you're growing with, this subject is a hot debate. But deff add in bloom nutes and expect 1/2 oz per plant.
You can always add in more light, even if added in the middle of flowering. You'll deff get more of a yield. Funny thing, I'm actually ordering another 400 watt HPS on Wednesday. Go with HTGSupply, it's the cheapest place I've found. It costs like $120 before shipping for their basic setup, you get all your cords, socket, ballast, bulb, and reflector.
lol does the 400 watt give of considerable heat im going to be picking one up on wensday but i think it might be to hot in my closet with out ventalition i have no way to run it
they grew 4 feeet in ur flowering stage how long u flowering for and
