Fast Buds Question about stretching

[scarfa21]

Hello all, I have a Purple lemonade plant in a 3x3 using Blue planet Farmers nutes, under an Auto cob. My plant seems to be stretching a lot and im not sure if this is normal or not. I have not trained this one either. This is my first time using Fastbuds also. Light is approx 24 from the top and will have to move this into my 4x4 if it gets any taller. Maybe I need a bigger light? I have no idea. Thanks for looking.

Hard to tell actual size from the pics, but Fastbuds says 110 cm on the tall side. That's about 45 inches, plus the pot. 1 autocob? Yeah, to have her reach her potential shes gonna need more light. She'll still put out fantastic smoke, just not as much as she could. Do you have options for some extra lighting?

Yeah I have another Autocob in my 4x4 that im growing another plant in, but im moving everything to the 4x4 asap. So 2 autocobs 2 plants. I had bought all new equipment and started the plants at different times, hence the 2 tents. Right now she is at 36 inches plus whatever the pot is. Seed was started June 8th and first feeding was on June 25th. I just started my 4th week of nutes.

She has a great Christmas tree shape! Am hoping to run across some of those seeds, have had a couple plants that showed a little color, but nothing like the purple on fastbuds site.
And while its 2 cobs for 2 plants, the area between receives light from both, effectively giving you a larger coverage area than just 2X.

Am a bit high, hope that last part made sense. Basically it's not a 1+1=2 situation it's more a 1+1=2.7 thing.

Yep totally made sense, thanks!!! I moved the plant to my bigger tent today along with the light.

I think its my lights. not giving enough hence the stretching. I just bought a mars hydro 2000, hopefully that helps.

i think the extra light will make a lot of difference my friend

Lighting is the engine for your grow. Better to be overpowered and dial back, than underpowered with no options. It's nice to have a rep on the forum to answer questions too.

Yep I def agree, the board has been great. I should be getting my 2000 any day and ill try that with my current grow.
