I think part of the reason one plant is so much taller is that every other watering has been 2ml/gal cal/mag and a half cap of superthrive for about the last 10 days. I have been watering every two days and didn't want to over feed with FF. I have herd from some other growers that too much superthrive will cause rapid soft growth. Also the light is not the same in both tents, 3 watt vs 5 watt dios.

Day 30 and I have tied down the top of this big girl. At 34 inches tall I could only let the plant get another two inches tall before it would be too close to my light. The main stem was still soft and bent without trouble. I am feeding every other watering, water every two days, 1 gallon per watering. The other sucker punch in my other tent stopped vertical growth at day 35 and 42 inches. Bud development is starting well and I look forward to a good yield by the first week of December.

Day 34; I didn't think this plant was going to get this big and I should have used LST sooner and better light control would have helped. That said I did keep the light at about 24 inches and it is now at between 12 and 14 inches, about what is recommended for bloom. I have put two 4ft t5's on to help the buds and keep temps up a bit. All I'm worried about is light bleaching the buds because she is still growing. The branch stems are still so if I need to I can tie them down.

Next time you will know the lighting so no worries . but 12 inches with a 96 is a disaster waiting to happen. It will burn them before u even realise it. Really dry leaves and thrlen looks like a deficiency. Raise it some or lose anything worth smoking trust me I bout lost a couple on my first grow but I learned in veg stage
