Started Flowering! When to stretch?

When should I stretch them? do you do this during the first weeks or towards the end?

if i do it at all. i do it after 11 days into. why do you need to streach?.

They will naturally stretch 2X to 3X their starting size once they enter floral cycle, usually within first 2 week of cycle's start. I try to flower at 12'' to 18'' so plants only get 36'' to 42'' tall at max. height. It all depends on your grow area size and room height.

what do you mean stretch them, and how is it done?

I'm pretty sure stretching doesn't increase yield....

The plant will do it on it's own.

Yea, I've never heard of this as a way to increase yield. Stretching is generally considered a bad thing, and it occurs when your lights are too far from the plants. If you want to increase yield then look into some trimming method such as topping, LST, or whatever you want. Topping is the simplest and most common, but there are many others.
