you can put her in a larger pot, whats that a 2 or 3 gallon???? it looks like one of my 2 .5 gallon pots. can you move the light closer to the plant, its strugling for light, you have quite a bit of stretch going on.

also, the plant wont support large buds without bending down with the weight of flowers.
is it on 12/12 allready, theres quite large areas of light green new growth

Yeah, I can transfer her into a bigger pot. I don’t know the exact size of the pot itself but I can put her in a 5 gallon pot. The plants are in 16/8 also. How close should I lower the light down to the plants? I was trying to promote as much stretch as I could without burning the plants (new sf-1000 D lights... very warm bright ray of light)

you dont want streatch, you want the branches as cose as possible to eachother as they will streatch when you flip it to 12/12.
why were you trying to get streatch???

ive not tried the spider farmer so cant tell you the distsance from light to plant

I don't see any root growth on the surface of soil. If it is well drained and growing well, I see no need repot. Unless trying for a large plant.

I was trying to let in as much light to budding areas as possible before I flipped into 12/12.

Yeah or 15" . The albo pepper guy on youtube has some test vids where he measures all that. Might be worth a watch. idk the number and I have the light, my tent wont let me get over 12 so..

For new growers, The deal is you need that light that optimal distance from ALL the flower.
The best you can really do is try to get the plant even across the top ( like lawn shrubs ) That way the light is the right distance from as much as possible.
That is what scrog, training, is all about, trying the branches down to a flat netting to get the canopy ideal for the lights.

I realize this importance now that I let my center cola get too tall and everything else is 5 inches lower.
