Hello i flipped 3 gelato clones all from same mother 11 days ago and set my hlg 550 v2 rspec 25inches from top of plant. im new and the company recomends 24inches for flower (these plants were vegged under my spectrum king mothers lil helper)
So its been 11 days now and my top of plants are still 25inches from light i was counting on some stretching to build more bud sites and kind of low stress the branches out as i did top a little later than i probably should have when vegging. any thoughts should i maybe raise the hlg light up to the 30" from plant as recomended in veg with this light???

They are starving look at the lower leaves ….it is not the light....It could be that the ph is off or that it is short on nutrition

that was my guess and im using GH floraNova and adding cal mag, kelp, liquid worm castings, molasses. but the sign of those lower leaves curling in made me back off, they got plain water yesterday but befor that the bottle recomendation of nutrients 2 feeds in a row so i guess this strain is just super hungry and when i give them something tomoro i should do another bottle recomended feed???

i had the same issue comming from hps to qb the qb just pushes out way to much light lol by raising the lights you give them a chance to chase it

they're only dialed to 60% because i was aclimating them from the spectrum king mothers lil helper in veg tent, maybe the light switch was still too drastic

raise the light they chase it. but it might be to late as it has been 11 days. and generally all the stretch happens the first 2 weeks of flower. it is worth a try
