Bluedream: very Lanky sativa pheno

SideNote

Well-Known Member
Hello!

So I have HSO Bluedream growing amongst other 2 plants under 400W HPS. Other two plants (Strawberry Cough - sativa/indica hybrid) are doing good, they are all 4 weeks today on 12/12 and flowering nicely. Except the extremely lanky sativa pheno, as you can see from pics. She is flowering very slowly and throwing only few hairs and no frost, compared to other plants. Also they are much taller than other plants and stretch was massive towards light.
Any idea if I got this 100% sativaish phenotype or something wrong with the plant / environment for her?

They are all growing in coco.
Feeding Canna line Coco A + Coco B 1.8 ml/ 1L + PK13/14 1.5 ml / 1L

its polite on here to extinguish the HPS before the photo ..not you?

it s normal to offer the plant at least a month of summer? light at 6500 kelvin ..but not you?

as it results in your lanky stretched to fuck look ...see above

I can imagine you run 24/7 non stop but lets wait and see

the mistake here was selecting a sativa hybrid expecting to to run as an indica

good luck

What size tent is that? It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like she's off to the side and not getting enough light, and that is contributing to the stretching. Did you veg with the HPS bulb? That will cause them to stretch more than if you veg them with a MH bulb. These are all things that you might not notice with Indica's, but Sativa's have a different way about them. Sativa's and Sativa dominant hybrids are all I grow.

I've only grown Blue Dream once, she stretched a bunch but also filled out nicely.
 
Here are some photos with lights off. She has grown to the ceiling of the tent now. Supercrop while flowering (4 weeks running) ?
As I mentioned two other plants (also sativa-indica hybrids Strawberry Caugh) in the same tent are doing good and flowers are fat already.
They were all vegged 20 / 4 - light / dark cycle for 2 months with HPS dual-spectrum bulb.
Tent dims are: 1 x 1 x 2 meters (3x3x6 feet)...

Nice but...
'They were all vegged 20 / 4 - light / dark cycle for 2 months'

I'd be tempted to use a larger pot maybe 5-7usg

I suspect you used the HPS dual-spectrum bulb. to veg too...?

it may explain whilst they are nicely stretched as excess red light will do that

its better than the opposite of a short squat plants fed by a 400w Metal Halide with zero red light(2700 kelvin)

maybe next grow be ready for that stretch and lst/fim/supercrop heavy like

good luck
