Stunted plants: Will they bounce back?

Hey,

So a week ago we returned from what was almost a one week vacation (we can do this because our medium is very heavy and our house gets rather cold so the plants use 1/5th as much water as in the summer months) to find one of our 600 watts had been malfunctioning. This was during the second week of flowering.

All of the plants at this point that had light during that time are looking beautiful, but the ones underneath the malfunctioning 600watt just started to produce small bud sets a couple of days ago. It seems there was enough light to continue the light cycle obviously, but by comparison they are very stunted.

What I want to know is whether these plants will bounce back and just be a week behind cropping schedule or whether they're going to continue to be stunted and shitty looking (they stretched during the week).


Thanks
 
Hi,

I have had light issues during flower and my plants looked like they were starting to revert to veg. I grew it out and wished I would have cut off the growth.

In your case if the cycle remained the same but just not much light I would guess you are ok if the height isnt a problem. If it is, cut it back. Its just a weed right?
 
Yeah the light cycle definitely stayed the same, they all just bent real hard towards the far light. I'm going to have to bend real hard because they're super tall in an attic that's five foot tall at the top of the slant. Just as long as they're worth the nutrients and time watering (90 plants takes me close to two hours to feed and tend to).
 
You may want to take advantage of this. keep bending them. Re arrange them maybe. just let the side shoots go up towards the light. Train them so they wont get to close to the light.

I bend my plants all the time and get more out of them. I do it in a cabinet where I dont have vertical space but I have had grow rooms in the past and that was the only way to get the lights at the right height.

At two weeks into flower stop and let the main cola grow up towards the light.

Good luck.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, I was thinking of even going scrog next grow, just didn't have time to fuck with it this time.

Yeah, tonight we're flushing, feeding, neem oil spraying and bending *real* hard.
