I was thinking the same thing, Budz. I misinterpreted a conversation I had with another grower. He was explaining that my issues were likely due to heat and humidity and not the light being close when I thought I had to move it in week 3. Now, I think he was just saying that it could be closer to the plants. But yeah, I think I agree with you, if I want them to stretch then I probably should keep it high at 30 inches.

Any other thoughts on this? Will lowering the light further promote to the short bushy profile?

Definitely lowering lights can keep them stunted, but that is very difficult to now assess clearly what level of par the plants can handle already having stress, and you then would need to know the par your light is putting off. How far are they right now and what do your par values for the light say they are for that distance. I would try o get he lights in the 475 to 525 for now and then ramp it up closer to 700 as the flowers really start to develop in three weeks or so.
Just my two cents...each situation is so unique. Also keep an eye on the VPD values if you know what those are, forgive me if this was already discussed. Make sure your RH is in line with the temps. Then you can push par values a bit. That's one method you can use to get them back and get some decent yield too.

Good luck man!

Ur absolutely right man but when he had the light a little closer it started slowing growth or like u said stunted the plants but jus by raising them just until ur plants leafs seem to be praying then through veg higher would be fine once uv been in flower 2 weeks and vertical growth as stopped then u can lower them a inch at a time until u think it’s right so u don’t bleach the top buds [emoji106] I always wait for vertical growth to stop before I try and get closer my northern lights blue auto I could not get my light no closer than 18” and she was a beauty

I don't think I can ever get up to optimal rh with my temps, but am trying to keep close to 50%. I have the lights at about 27 inches above the plants now. Will check everything when I get home tonight and report back.

My rh is 30% all the way through the grow in coco but when in soil n perlite mix it’s 50-55%rh and my plants do ok between 1.5-2.5 oz per plant that’s a average of between 6-10 oz per crop not bad to say my tent is only small 80x80x160cm but it serves me well [emoji12][emoji106][emoji636]

That’s encouraging to me, Bugz. I need to get everything right for flowering in order to maximize the yield. Thankfully, these plants aren’t showing any signs of flowering, so they may grow some more before then. Trying to keep it he th above 50 is hard, even with the humidifier as the garage humidity is 20 or even lower sometimes!

I am with @budzey on this. It is important to enjoy the event. I like to think I have a synergy with my plants - they know I care.

Thanks buds and MOG. Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying heck out of this. I know this grow is far from perfect, even the name of the thread suggests that.

The biggest thing for me is to just complete the grow, and I finally feel that I will. That has been a relief. So I am going to keep enjoying the journey. Thanks for the support, guys!
