Hallo guys!
This is my first post! I need some advise/help. I am a new grower. Got myself some nice seeds from Nirvana (Pure power plant). I'm growing using bubbleponics and I have to say that I am happy with how things went so far. I planted one of the PPP seeds and one mystery seed in my setup. Using CFL lights (if I could do it over I'd get better lights, but they are expensive).
So I switched my plants to a 12-12 light schedule on the 15th of August, so that was 4 1/2 weeks ago now. The PPP grew a little taller in the first 2-3 weeks, but then settled nicely and they are making nice buds.
The mystery seed however started growing at 100 km/h and hasn't really stopped! I tried bending and tying down the new growth as much as possible without snapping the stems. The plant just lifted the heads/grow points towards the light and continued growing! Now, 4 1/2 weeks into flowering I have basically no more room left in my growth space. The plant has so many nice budding sites and looks really healthy that I am going to cry if the tips get burnt (one stem already lost 3 leaves to a light!).
Any advise on how to somehow stop the plant from stretching? It is under 120W's worth of CFL's, in a cupboard lined with reflective material, so even though more light would probably work I don't think (from what I've read) that 120W is waaaaaaay too little? I'm using DWC nutrients that are probably not the best in the world. But I'm trying to give the plants less of the grow neuts and more bloom neuts every week when I replace the water. I also top off the reservoir with PH's water where I only add a little bloom neuts.
Will my plant make it!?!? And also, will those buds fatten up in time. I read that Sativa takes a bit longer in the flowering stage, so at the moment I'm not too worried about the skinny buds, seeing as there are lots of them! (should I be worried)?
Anyway, that is a huge post! Hope I didn't bore you to death!
Thanks for any and all help!
