I haven't been getting pix of all my plants lately. But here's a comparison from 5 days ago L > R in 3 gallon fabric bags - RBI Purple Rolex day 50, RBI Passion Punch day 50 and a Fastbuds zkittles day 56 that is turning out much squatter than the last two I grew. But from the PP, you can see I'm getting a lot of stretch on some of my plants and not with others so I'm attributing this to phenotypic expression in my case. I could be wrong. Im assuming I'm hitting them hard enough with light because the buds off the last two I harvested are hard and smell great. I'm sure many think it's crazy knowing I would get better yields if I trained my plants and I have in the past but I get more pleasure from their natural growth. I may defloliate a bit here and there and pull a branch out to the edges but that's about it these days. The PP in the middle here is probably 32-33" and I have a Night Owl Wizard's Apprentice that is 11-12 days behind these that's just blowing past them in height. As I was saying before, I just harvested two meph plants and they branched well and stretched more than what I'm used to with just my autocobs. I wouldn't say that the PR here is a midget but it's pretty short and definately spear shaped as you called it. The other PR that I mentioned I couldn't find pix for. May have just not bothered due to disappointment. It was short too. Not quite sure but was also when I was just getting settled in my new place.
