Ok, I'll chime in here. I think it has something to do with the light spectrum growers use. The new led spectrums and light intensities out on the market now are so much different when these strains were produced, and wehave no idea what lights they were grown under when they gave us the time frame.

When I turn on my hps and run that, I almost always finish on time, but when I use the led lights, sometimes I go over on the time. I am running different led lights in the tent. I notice that some of the plants finish on time and some go long. You are correct though, that the plants that go long are always monster plants that run over 200 grams per plant every time, but volume is never my goal.

I am doing some unofficial research now around this subject, because I am now in the mode of wanting to chase elite phenos. Been doing it in photos for years, and now I am enjoying the challenge on autos.

I think it has something to do with the lights man! Any feedback would be great from other growers and what they think could contribute.

VERY interesting indeed!! Light spectrum...a factor i didnt think of!
 
@Olde School Player has looked at stretch, I'm a longltime HID grower and now run a cmh and it seems white like a COB but there is a fat red in there. Still learning how they react to this light..
long time hid grower too, but just ordered 1 315cmh excited to see results, but now I understand quantum boards are the best for lumens per watt efficiency, apparently much better than cobs
