Help stop stretching!

hey guys, i am doing a greenhouse grow but my babies seem to be stretching. is there a way to prevent this?

Nope. Not unless we know strain and more info. Is your greenhouse getting sufficient light or is it in a shady spot? Do you know if you have a sativa or indica dominant strain?

And days are still kinda short, less than 14 hours daylight(northern hemishpere/US) so youe plants may be preparing to flower. A few hours of supplemental light before or after sunset would probably help keep them under control. Least for the next 2 weeks or so....

if your worried about eventual height why not top, supercrop or lst them, although you havent mentioned what stage there at.

thanks guys. 3 chronic low riders and 2 flash babylon auto. its only early days at the moment 3weeks but they do seem to be taller than when i do it indoors. i am in the uk and my greenhouse gets around 8hours of direct sunlight. they coming on nice just too tall

Scottish Nazi stoners.............wtf is next?

if from seed......they will veg, clones will try to flower with this much light. when you re-pot, bury the extra stem up to the first node. give them a sunnier spot in greenhouse. put a fan on them

ok i will get a small fan on them for few hours a day, will post pics soon. thanks

no.........all day, and night. constant slight movement of plants. they like a lot of air anyway. you've got electricity in the greenhouse?

no, i'll have to run an extention lead out. cheers mate

righto, m8.......have a good grow!

I have only tried autos a few times both in and out. And the outdoor plants definitely stretched more than the indoor plants....

Too funny!

You could lower the phosphorus supply until the stretch period is over. Use something with a NPK 9-3-6 or even lower in the P department.

i know this is a really stupid ?. if i have lots of spiders in my greenhouse am i more likely to get spider mites? i'm proper stoned lol but its bugging me
