Lol, that's explains it then. I thought maybe it was a Scooby snack kind of thing. Technically it is!

Doesn’t look like they’re stretching too much. How are these ones compared to last grow, stretch wise?
Some of mine are about to max out the height of my tent lol.

Thanks, was just going to discuss that...
But, first, i hope the house is now a done deal, and that you are getting ready to move in, get situated, and get growing.
Also hope your wife, and soon to be born daddy’s girl are doing well.

Lights now at ~1050 ppfd again, uv on.
After 2 weeks of 12:12, and with pistil development starting to ramp, the girls should be done with about 50% percent of stretch...lmmfao...they have stretched about 2-3”, except for the trainwreck, which stretched about 4-6”.
6x96
8x288
In the previous grow with the 8x288 config, under similar conditions, the diesels had stretched 10-14” and the hazes 14-23”, by this time.
8x288
Besides strain differences, two identifiable things have contributed to the height differences:
1. The timing of the pre-flip defol: previous grow was defol’d 9 days before flip, this grow was defol’d at flip.
2. The number of tops at flip: previous grow had 8 tops per plant, this one had 8x5 tops per plant.
Obviously, this grow is going down a scrog-like pathway. But, given the huge and comparable diameters of the stems and mains, i expect to be producing some pineapple colas this grow, instead of donkey dicks.
We’ll see...

I was surprised to see your humidity that low (~30-ish %) but it's likely just me not understanding. The VPD charts I checked:

I'd guess bc tent doors are open?

My rh’s are in the upper 50s to low 60s...if you are referring to rhs in pics, that’s what they get down to when i’m working in the tents...

House is done deal. The other day we took the carpet out of the future grow room and put in the extra waterproof laminate they left. Like $700 worth of flooring they left so that was awesome lol. Slowly been moving things. Have the big move coming this weekend.
Wife has been doing great overall. We have an ultrasound Friday because last dr appointment she measured too small so they just want to make sure the little girl is doing good.
Think the defoliation slowed stretch down or just the strain?

Good news on house/growroom, hoping doc gives you the good word on Friday.
Number of tops at 12:12 was probably the most important factor ([40 tops x 4” stretch/8 mains=20” per main; 15” per main if you use 3” stretch], compare to lengths of mains on previous grow mentioned above); timing of defol not defol itself, significantly contributed as well, but to much lesser extent ...decreasing the total height stretch per main and lateral.
These two things are useful tools, glad i could bracket them somewhat, for future use...

Lot of control that'll give you. My brain's already perkkalatin what you could do with that.
