10 days with little LIGHT.......

so i got locked up. they wouldnt let me out. well for at least ten days anyway. well my light had got unplugged and for 10 days my 24 day old plantas recieved their only source of light from a lone daylight cfl that was remarkably left on for those 10 days. as you would assume my plantas hve stretched to about 5-6inches in length all the while being on only their third set of true leaves.....


what would you do?

start over or add more dirt to cover up as much of the stretching as you can

facinating. i was thinking about adding more dirt. maybe a lil root stimulator with the next watering????

I'd resume your normal light schedule. That's about all you can do, really. Maybe bump it up to 24/0, and try to slow down the stretching a little faster, and make up for some of the lost time, but idk, the dark period has it's advantages, as well. Hmm...go with something like 20/4, best of both worlds?lol

P.S. I also agree, it's a good idea to bury some of the stem, if you can. Don't worry, they'll bulk-up in a week or so, as long as your lighting is sufficient.

shweet. they shall resume there 150w hps daily bathing ritual. and since they've kinda interwoven each other into this lattice of stems, im thnking it might perhaps "look cool" if i just let them bulk up and see what happens.. its like a premature Scrog.
