Looks allright, you do know the first 2-3 weeks of flower is also known as the stretch? If it stopped growing taller youre thru stretch and building bud.
First timer?
Whats your temps/rh like? Especially like 30 mins aftrr lights out?
Have you got enough air circulation?
How many watts and what dimensions of the space?
If you got the basics of flower down then just enjoy the show.
Looking closely at your grow: theres probably too many plants in there. When plants are touching they tend to stretch up to compete for the light.
Next time you might also have a look at pruning lower branches/sucker branches that wont wontly yield any, only drain resources. Buds on lower branches tend to be larfy and weak.
But your plants have green and healthy looking stems so you must be doing something right.
Go for itI’m useing 4 quantum board 132 on a lrs350 driver and they are dimmed at 60%
Also have a carbon filter pulling air out and the tent is like 1ft8in by2.6 ft. I was thinking about supercropping a bunch of the tall ones down so I have a even canopy
Yaaa dude. I did some much training in the beginning bending it over and tie branches down and it was such a nice little plump bush in the beginning than it stretched woooooooo so much in 2 weeks unbelievable man. I was so excited at first cause I was like sweet I have these nice plants and I will trim them back a bit to have sun main colas and then the stretch just did t stop lolI had lemon OG Kush earlier this year and it stretched like a mofo
Supercropping, scrogging or putting a net on it, lst etc are ways of dealing with the stretch as it happens. Youre past the stretch from what i understand, and you already have some budding. I dont think they will grow any taller. Supercropping would just be for the sake of doing something and imo not necessary in any way. Now you should focus on
- increase light levels if your not already on max. But do it real slow and soft, looking for plant stress like purple stems or leafs fading to light green to see if you gone to far. Another strategy is first 1 hour on high and then back to where you were, next day 2 etc, evaluating as you go along.
- environment: important to not get mold and stuff and also for growth. Keep temps up between 81-84 and RH (especially at night!!!) from getting going much over 60. Also some extra aircirculation would probably be good. But nit the plants trashing in the wind.
- bloom nutes: if you wish you can ad some bloom nutes or pk boost but be carefull its it easy to burn your plants.
As a general advice less is more, dont love your plants to death.
I would get a get lux meter then you will know how many lux/ppfd your plants are getting at the canopy. If you are at day 18 of 12/12 and have the light dimmed I would say the plants are not getting enough light if it is dimmed 60%
I am at day 13 of 12/12 and have my 132’s at approx 17” above canopy and siting on 295watts. I am at approx 45000lux or 642ppfd. View attachment 4351998View attachment 4351999View attachment 4352001

Bridgelux do some strips that would fit that bill nicely. Eb strips are coming up with a new gen3, and you xan generally run them with no sink at nominal current. Also vesta strips have a very nice spectrum, 2 channels, 5000/2700k 90 cri.Hey how are you ? So I ended up supercropping a few of the really tall ones. Do I have a suggestion on some small side led bars I could use ? That are not very expensive? I’m useing fox farms nutrients the tiger bloom and the trio open seas, cha Ching,beast bloomz. Which one should I begin useing ?
No worries, this is also my 1st grow. I have a well documented journal going in my signature that might help you for next time If you have any questions just ask & I will try to answer them.Thank you. I just supercropp a few of the much taller branches so I have a even canopy and will start slowly turning up the light . Any other suggestions ? This is my first run with quantum boards
