The stretch is a myth.. prove me wrong

Here's the tall plants, I dont have pics of the short bushy's, but they wre only 1.5'-2ft tall. Not the prettiest, but not my grow. I was just brought in as a 'consultant' of sorts.

Yes, we harvested/trimmed down to the base, going for a reveg to take some clones from these absolutely glorious strains (just not shown the love they need).

Arrr this is something I'm not sure how it works, the unit says 1k Watts but there was a chart stating the consumption is actually 190w

So what are you expecting out of 190watts buddy?My plants only stretch for one reason, if they aren’t getting adequate light, because of the distance from the top of the canopy or because of a weak light source.

Yeah I've since moved on from that light and I think that stretch now has a lot to do with the type of light and intensity. Even with my Sativa grow right now I'm finding that under LED its just not getting the same Internode length that you would see with HPS

it depends on the strain, some stretch and some don't

I think there is so much we still have to learn. Seems as well as intensity , spectrum and the ratio of one part of the spectrum to the other plays a big part.
Even the worlds most leading scientists cant agree.

Yeah, I think that no matter how much I spent on LED it was always coming up short to even my MH/HPS, not counting DE HPS or CMH. I always yield more with my hid lights, even when I spent $1195 on the LED light. .

my mint chocolate chip started in flower half the size of my gdp and now is 50% taller than the gdp that is almost done with flower and my mcc just started budding u tell me if stretch phase is a myth their is a obv gain in height that's for sure

About a pound per 260 watts of LED's

No, strip builds.

Phenotype has a lot to do with it too.
