I think that will be the plan. I flipped this at 16" thinking it would stretch to 32" at best. Wrong. I do hope it slows down this week. I've got 8 more seeds of this, so lesson learned. And I've always used flourescents and blurples, but this CMH is so far the bees knees. Way better growth.
Going to have to do something, it's grown 6 more inches in two days. What a stretch. I'm not a pro at this, so I learned a valuable lesson on this strain. Light comes on in 30 minutes so we'll see how much it's grown in the last 12 hrs.I've been growing sativa dominants for the last two decades and ScroG is the way to go with those girls.
A trick I use when a top is getting too tall is just to roll the stem firmly between your fingers until it gets soft and the top flops over. Might have to do a couple inches worth or even a couple of node spaces so it doesn't break but even if it splits open the top still grows fine and the buds lower down grow a lot bigger as if you topped the plant. I've even had the back of the bend break right apart and the top still grows as if nothing happened. I've literally done it dozens of times over the last 20 years and never had a top die.
Got me some nearly pure indicas going and plan to mainline them so need to switch gears with these girls.
Wow that is crazy. I think two of my plants are also pure sativas and I dont know what I'll do with them when I switch. At the moment they stand at about 14". Think I should switch even if they are 3 weeks old?
Mine was almost 4x, and 4 weeks stretch. Hell its still growing. This was 3 days ago.
I actually did just that with kelp.
Turbo dude...that is one fine looking sativa...really too bad you don't have more headroom. Bend it soon so the side branches can develop. Once you remove the apical meristem influence by supercropping...the side branches will take over. You'll probably need to do a little leaf pruning and maybe remove a small branch or two. You understand that this is probably a 12 week strain...
I'm glad to have that feedback. I'm really a novice with sativas. I took a stab at crushing the main stem and rolling it between my fingers. It's about healed up now. I bent it over with a string tied to a weight last night. I'll take another pic when lights come back on.
Here's what it looks like tonight. Exactly 28 days flowering. Only grew 1/2" last 24 hrs. So hopefully it starts bulking up some buds. I'm with you, I'm thinking 12 weeks despite what the seed seller said (8 or 9 weeks). I'm used to hybrids, or indica, so this seems a little sparse at this point to me.
