Thanks! Sannie is a stand up guy, when I had a little card weirdness holding up one of my orders, which was more the pay agent's fault than anything else, he fixed it and gave me bonus points. Sooner or later I will most likely try every strain he has. I just cut down the sd x bb I got from sannie's that e$co made, and while the blueberry sativa is very dominant in my female, she has the big bubbly buds of a sour diesel and looks to have serious potency.
Something else I've been trying lately, and am having pleasing results with, is keeping my stretchiest bitches (hazes, thai, etc) under T5s for the first week or two of flowering, depending on how long they stretch. That way, I can keep the light 4" from the plants to minimize stretch as well as reserving my HIDs for the girls that are actually in the bud production stage. So far, so good. I did that with the KF and the Jack that are pictured, and it helped keep their height manageable in my 7.5' ceiling basement.

Although it minimized stretch did it affect yield?.
I got t5s I use for veg but I can start the flower process with them if its going to reduce the stretch without hurting the yield which I'm sure it does unless you try matching it watt for watt with the hps no?

Too soon to tell, but I throw them under HIDs as soon as actual bud sites start to form. However, I have a couple sativa leaning plants that veg for between 3-5 weeks after 12/12 and don't seem to produce any actual bud sites until after this period. I still move indicas, or hybrids that seem to benefit from the stretch, directly under the HID when I flower.
They also might be under t5s, but they are in a room with two 600s and a 1000, and covered in mylar, so it is rather bright in there. This is all just part of my quest to grow sativa dominant plants under a 7' ceiling without using a SCROG; while still vegging my plants long enough for preflowers to naturally form. I'm not too concerned about yield as long as I can get at least two or three zips in a plant, and I don't think I am going to have a problem with that.

@white ..idk if this helps but I used a MH for the first 5 weeks of flower and it reduced my stretch but my yield was crazy low ..but I can't blame it on the light bc temps weren't as warm as I liked and I veg on 24/7 it keeps my plants shorter and they mature faster TO ME I use a pll 110w for veg
But I can say the MH made some plants stay shorter and have the strongest branches ever ..
It had no effect on the OG I had going to me it was still 5 feet ..but it could have been 7 for all I kno if I used the HPs all the way tru
I've noticed when I use a really strong light in veg the plants bush out and the roots fills the pot more ...with less lighting you see lots of top growth but it seems like it takes longer for the roots to stretch out ..the plant will be sexually mature showing pistils but the yields are always less compared to when I veg with my 600 for the same time
I think ur yield will be fine if the plants had enough veg ..those 2-3 weeks is all stretch anyway

Hey WyteB, taking clones from a re-veg plant will lessen their vigor to stretch in bloom in the clones. Also cuts taken from a plant in bloom will also loose most of their stretch

Well the blue dream I was trying to reveg didn't work. Mad about that but hey.. i ve done it before but never payed attention to vigor behind it.. ill keep that in mind. How's things on your side?Hey WyteB, taking clones from a re-veg plant will lessen their vigor to stretch in bloom in the clones.

yeah, i really like jaws / rademaster w/e you want to call him, but i agree, some auctions get carried away for sure.. i don't have the coin to be playing that game atm though, so i'm just watching the action from the sidelines.
i did grab up a pack of his truck stop cookies though, glad i got them when i did as like 2 hours later all of his gear was sold out..

i have to admit, i paid $250 for a 5 pack of double purple doja's, but they were like the last pack of them to ever be made, and i don't really see outlaw releasing any new gear anytime in the near future, so i grabbed them up while the grabbing was good..
