My new plant growth leaves are pointing straight up! Should I be concerned?

[Ironiraq]

Just flipped them 5 days ago and I noticed today that some of the new growth leaves are pointing straight up! Is this a problem, should I be concerned? Also I am noticing slight color change. First grow using 2x Agrulux 1000w DE, 8" exhaust on a 8" carbon filter, plenty of air flow and 8" fresh air intake. Any feedback would be appreciated.

They are reacting(stretch phase) to the change from veg to flower is all.

Nice plants

Thanks!! Glad it's not a problem...was wondering how much taller you think they will get??

Depends on strain and how strong your light source is.
Usually takes 2 weeks. Just saw u have 2 de 1000w. That will keep the stretch down compared to weaker lights.

They can double in size from veg to flip...some not as much.. just an apx.

Really eh! I may run into problems then. I would see if there is a way to avoid the doubling in size?! I'm using 2x1000w DE in a 6x8 x9ft in height ish room!

Just tie down tall ones to screen..lol

So the stronger the light source is the shorter the plant stays? Its supposed to be PK but not so sure to be honest. I made a mistake in buying clones from the first guy I found but that's another story all together...lol

Yes I've researching that I will attempt doing that, see how that pans out.

Just don't force them all the way to screen just lightly bend down and tie... allow rest of screen to become equal height throughout.

Ok thanks for the tips!

Yes. The less Light the more the plant tries to stretch to get to the light. I'm only running a single ended 1000 watt light but I can place a stretchy plant directly underneath it and it slows the stretch down.
What is pk? I know a few stains with those initials. Wish i could get my hands on some clone only strains

Do you have any thoughts/opinions on these DE bulbs?
