Hi guys I have posted a lot about issues I have been having and hopefully it’s given me the experience now to help others and grow as a grower

however I have mentioned this a few times and haven’t got a definitive answer, though I do appreciate everyone’s input and help

my plants are to tall.. the bushy the nodes are tight but there growing like mad there at least 100/120 cm all of them now with the pots being 5galon and the lights I have literally almost touching the top of tent with almost no space left (tent size160cm tall it was the biggest I could fit in my space) plants are 9 weeks3/4 plants are starting to bud Nicely and one is still in pre flower just starting to get clumps of pistils.. I have supercroped I have pulled them down with wires and they just turn and grow grow grow back up in now 9inches of the lights and they won’t stop growing. Is there anything else I can do??

it’s going to be what’s it going to be but if someone tells me I’m fucked I can at least stop spending hours online looking for answers:dizzy:
 
i know it's not what you want to hear but i can only suggest what you have already done is by keeping super cropping and bend them can you post some pics as i have 2big girls at day 56 and these are still stretching now i supercropped the right side 1 again yday

I'm kinda running into the same issue but my stretch seems to be over, i hope. Can you modify you light support? I had to rig my light supports with Zip Ties to get me 3 more inches.

I know my next grow i'm gonna LST like a mad man.
 
Thanks for the reply guys, much appreciated, that’s fair enough if there’s nothing more I can do then at least I’m doing everything I can if that makes sense, hopefully they stop growing but it’s the late bloomer that’s the biggest and has a long way to go in terms of maturing. a lesson learned .. lst right at the start next time :smoking:

I know it doesn’t look like it in the pic but there literally less than 9inches now of the lights and some I have already supercroped are like 12/13”

Hi pal whats the wattage of that light as it looks like a low power one and if its just 1 what size is your space or tent
 
I have 1 full spectrum led light 600w but I think the actual watts are like 110/120 and then a hlg quantum board actual wattage is 150w, grow space is 1.5 x 1.5 meters, I don’t feel like there struggling to get light though, if anything there getting like burn at the top :(
 
Can you turn down the red spectrum on your blurple light. Too much red during the growth phase will make the plants stretch.

I did read that, but the big ones under the quantum bored, biggest plants now 135cm tall and I have super roped some of them branches.. any idea when the stretch is due to end.. so it is a continued growth throughout the flowering ?
And no unfortunately not that’s just the light :(

there all to big now anyway I can’t even get to the back of the test to to and mess around with them plants.. it’s a mess. To be honest I never expected them to grow this well, said the range was up to 120 for my northern lights strain and being my firs grow I didn’t expect to get close haha
 
Look at that lol

Lol i used the Zip ties also 20200520_194935.jpg The colas seemed to stretch a bit while they got hairy 20200520_194949.jpg

And I thought this Rhino Ryder was supposed to be short. Can't complain though i got alot of colas on it.
