will do - thanks for the suggestions! maybe I can find my way into the Mars Hydro 600W @ $80...That is not misplaced logic, if the light were stronger that technique would help with the stretch. You are asking that light to do more than it can. I want to run and jump like I am 20 again - guess what that ain't happanin'.
The photo won't flower until 12/12 and the extra light hours won't hurt it. Start manifolding now (See Nebula's Manifold technique on a different forum) and maybe you can tame the photo or it might just get really big?
Another "stunted or normal" thread request

@MarshydroTina @ms48130 is strapped for cash at the moment but needs to see the lights. Anything special up your sleeve for the AFN needy?
After reading the threads on Manifolding, the instructions point to having a powerful light, and if not, then FIMing or Topping would be preferred. Wouldn't my smaller light suggest going toward FIMing or topping?That is not misplaced logic, if the light were stronger that technique would help with the stretch.

Since I am here might as well comment. Your on the right path when it comes to logic I always put my lights high to encourage stretch. As @Mañ'O'Green your just lacking enough juice. I am a cheap ass when it comes to almost all inputs except lights. Most inputs in my opinion are marginal in difference (there are some exceptions to this on extreme comparisons), except lights. The more power (at the rights spectrum) the better a grower you magically become. If you isolate inputs and test for effect nothing is more important than your light.

What I am thinking is mainifolding will give you more time to finish the other plants before flipping to 12/12 for the photo. fiming or topping will not give you much time.
not legal at this time
OK thank you. Manifolding it is. Will continue to work to get more lighting power. With the size of my tent, me thinks I'll have to ditch my HLG 100 as I doubt there's really enuf room for another light, I'll have to find a way to work up to a 135WWhat I am thinking is mainifolding will give you more time to finish the other plants before flipping to 12/12 for the photo. fiming or topping will not give you much time.

I can send ya a 150W HPS lol. I am guessin that will be way to much heat though. Hopefully you can find something that fits your needs though
thx, but I have no tent AC as it is, and I'm running about 80*F almost all the time! Still looking for a new light. I wonder how long to get a light through alibaba (kingbrite, bava, etc)
