my plants are 4 days into flowering and just under 2 feet tall (see pics). i think they're looking rather thin - all of the off shoots have one leaf - they don't split off and double like other plants i've seen...what is the secret to accomplishing this? (not interested in tipping or fimming the main cola, just the side branches to increase side bud sites).

thx!

its was ur lighting from start. i was too far or not sufficient enough because ur plant stretched. what you can do is top it and give it more light. mabey you should look into practicing LST(low stress training)

Add more light I agree... And move closer... Are you using nutes? Mollases?

You should have topped the plant when in veg. Topping the plant gives the plant two colas on top instead of one. It also allows the inner nodes to turn into side colas. It's too late to do it now i would say though... Good luck

lighting was close, but dull. they were my father's old grow lights from the 70's...not very powerful. i was told they'd be fine for veg, but i guess this is what you get. anything i can do at this point?

Just keep flowering, get those lights as close as possible without it getting too hot. perhaps upgrade to a nice 400 watt HPS for the future? Your plants should almost double in size in the next 27 days of flowering.
