I will have pictures attached. They haven’t grown taller in the last 4/5 days and it will be 18 days of 12&12. I have one white widow plant and the rest are lemon OG kush. I’m just not sure what to do at this point. I appreciate your time and help! I am truly grateful
Sincerely 3000

Looks allright, you do know the first 2-3 weeks of flower is also known as the stretch? If it stopped growing taller youre thru stretch and building bud.
First timer?
Whats your temps/rh like? Especially like 30 mins aftrr lights out?
Have you got enough air circulation?
How many watts and what dimensions of the space?

If you got the basics of flower down then just enjoy the show.

Looking closely at your grow: theres probably too many plants in there. When plants are touching they tend to stretch up to compete for the light.

Next time you might also have a look at pruning lower branches/sucker branches that wont wontly yield any, only drain resources. Buds on lower branches tend to be larfy and weak.

But your plants have green and healthy looking stems so you must be doing something right.

What if I put a net in there? Weave everything into it? Also the light is only at 60%temps are 78/80 and at night 72-75 lowest I’ve seen 68

They wont grow taller, the net would have done aomething if you put it in weeks ago.

Temps seem ok but could be a few ° higher. Watch out for larger fluctuations in RH.

Supercropping, scrogging or putting a net on it, lst etc are ways of dealing with the stretch as it happens. Youre past the stretch from what i understand, and you already have some budding. I dont think they will grow any taller. Supercropping would just be for the sake of doing something and imo not necessary in any way. Now you should focus on
- increase light levels if your not already on max. But do it real slow and soft, looking for plant stress like purple stems or leafs fading to light green to see if you gone to far. Another strategy is first 1 hour on high and then back to where you were, next day 2 etc, evaluating as you go along.
- environment: important to not get mold and stuff and also for growth. Keep temps up between 81-84 and RH (especially at night!!!) from getting going much over 60. Also some extra aircirculation would probably be good. But nit the plants trashing in the wind.
- bloom nutes: if you wish you can ad some bloom nutes or pk boost but be carefull its it easy to burn your plants.
As a general advice less is more, dont love your plants to death.

I've supercropped before, well after 4 weeks 12 12.
I'd supergroup the 2 tall ones on the left, won't do them any harm.
Or attach string or wire to the tops and pull them down without snapping them to even out the canopy.
Or raise the other plants up.
What size is the tent and how many watts are they getting?

I’m useing 4 quantum board 132 on a lrs350 driver and they are dimmed at 60%
Also have a carbon filter pulling air out and the tent is like 1ft8in by2.6 ft. I was thinking about supercropping a bunch of the tall ones down so I have a even canopy

Yaaa dude. I did some much training in the beginning bending it over and tie branches down and it was such a nice little plump bush in the beginning than it stretched woooooooo so much in 2 weeks unbelievable man. I was so excited at first cause I was like sweet I have these nice plants and I will trim them back a bit to have sun main colas and then the stretch just did t stop lol

I would get a get lux meter then you will know how many lux/ppfd your plants are getting at the canopy. If you are at day 18 of 12/12 and have the light dimmed I would say the plants are not getting enough light if it is dimmed 60%
I am at day 13 of 12/12 and have my 132’s at approx 17” above canopy and siting on 295watts. I am at approx 45000lux or 642ppfd. F4FBF9F1-1B52-46A3-927B-DE5FDDA8C6CE.jpeg3CB84BA2-4AC9-4632-A613-2AAED6866C54.jpeg729F3B43-1442-44CA-9887-954509B9597B.jpeg

Hey how are you ? So I ended up supercropping a few of the really tall ones. Do I have a suggestion on some small side led bars I could use ? That are not very expensive? I’m useing fox farms nutrients the tiger bloom and the trio open seas, cha Ching,beast bloomz. Which one should I begin useing ?

Thank you. I just supercropp a few of the much taller branches so I have a even canopy and will start slowly turning up the light . Any other suggestions ? This is my first run with quantum boards

Bridgelux do some strips that would fit that bill nicely. Eb strips are coming up with a new gen3, and you xan generally run them with no sink at nominal current. Also vesta strips have a very nice spectrum, 2 channels, 5000/2700k 90 cri.

If this is your first grow you might wanna see it thru to the end without making too much changes, just to figure out your base line. Most first grows are messed up by overwatering or overdoing in some way. Simple is usually best.

No worries, this is also my 1st grow. I have a well documented journal going in my signature that might help you for next time If you have any questions just ask & I will try to answer them.
