They mega stretch in early flower and can be a tough one to manage.
^^^ this, I've broke many a neck on my plants if their colas got a little to tall.
Warm night time temps also cause strains to be a little stretchy.
Yes, absolutely and living in the Mojave I see plenty of those ;D 730nm light can also cause that.
That seems counter-intuitive to me (seeing as how nitrogen is for vegetative growth). Can you extrapolate on this point? How you know this to be true and possibly the mechanism behind it? If true it's a great piece of knowledge to have!
I do it regularly on all my plants after one particularly uncomfortable table of fracturing stalks more than once. I did some research and lightly underfeeding and remaining on veg nutrients works perfectly for me as they shift hormone production. I used this on clones of the table that got out of hand. It was simply coincidence that GSC was part of that table along with Jack Herrer and Apollo 13 clones. Essentially by keeping them on their light veg feeding. It slows production of GA.
You know I've heard this more than once about GSC being difficult. I wondered if sometimes people considered them difficult because of their low yields and figured if they were better managed they'd produce more. I did not find them difficult either. But just as you stated smaller yields.
Yeah sucks that a lot of the dankest strains don't put out yields. There are exceptions...
You know I've contemplated this but forgot to read up on it, thnx for the reminder ;p.
Indoor growers all have a maximum height restriction, you also have light penetration issues. That being said within those limits set up an experiment for a side by side grow and you get to see for yourself. I'd be interested in hearing what you find.
Yeah that might well be the only option, doesn't sound important enough to be something others cared to try.
there have to be exceptions otherwise how would we prove the rules
