Hi everyone and thank you for your time!


Looking for some help on how to limit flowering stretch with quantum boards. Using (4) QB132v2 3500kspectrum in a 2.5ft by2.5 ft tent that’s is just a tad over 5ft in height. I have done a lot of LST from the beginning bending and tieing down branches to get an open canopy with select number of main colas and the stretch that happen is incredible! I also began lollipoping just before switching to flower And the first 4-5 days of flower had some amazing growth !,very neat to see but frustrating due to the vigorous training I attempted during veg stage. So again I’m wondering if any quantum board users have any suggestions on how to limit the stretch that occurs.. I will also add that tempatures are not the issue they are no higher than 80 Fdegrees and no lower than 68 Fdegrees at lights out.

Thank you for your time I really appreciate it !!!

raise your night temps as cold induces stretch, as does genetics. Other then that, even lowering the lights to the canopy wont help, but stress the plant.

and, I dont use QBs but light is light, so take with a grain of salt if you want.

I've read a few things no one seems to have a definite fix. But here's a couple I've read...

If there is a large gap in Kelvins used to veg & flower (6500 to 3500) causes increased stretch.

stretch happens in 1st 2 hours of lights on. Try (if you can) lowering the temp during this time. Or do as previous poster suggested.

If you lollipop too early you are funnelling all the growth energy into fewer site.
Good luck

You may want to get a light meter, and get your light intensity to optimum for early bloom. Your plants need a lot of light in this phase.
