Question about when to switch light for Sativas in a 6ft tent

[Corum59]

Interesting, I have a 2 x 4

Maybe look up "scrog", start with 3 and end up with 2 and a full flat canopy utilizing your whole tent floor space.

Excellent advice I never knew. Thanks again

On average photos will stretch about 3-5x the height of the vegged plant when flipped.

For example, this is when I flipped, about 16 inches at the tallestView attachment 1658651

This is now, roughly a month since the flipView attachment 1658652
Sativas have a tendency to stretch more than indicas obviously, but plants can surprise you. Ive seen plants keep stretching. So if they get too close to your lights, just supercrop them down to a fair height. Just make sure when you do, you hold them down or in a week they will be standing back up again. I realize some of my plants are on stands, but thats just to even out the canopy. Had a slow grower, and one didnt stretch as much as the one in front, but this is typical of growing different strains in the same tent.

For reference my tent is 70" tall. Just under 6 ft. And if I let my plants get taller than 20ish inches they will need supercropping. Also if your hesitant to super crop, dont be a pinch to soften the stem where you want the bend and just flop ot over and lst it in that position.
