Sensi Star and Snow Cap started as clones at 4 and 5". Now they are at day 42 in soil and are 13.5 and 9.5 inches tall. I no that they are stretched but for the past week i have been keeping them more compact and can see great growth so far. I plan on adding more light to my room in acouple days and especially for flowering.

From the way they both look right now, how much longer do u think these girls need untill i put them to 12/12. I have them on a timer at 18/6 but i wanted to set them on 20/4 for mabey the next week and really get those inner leaves up to the size as some of the smaller ones.

Do u guys think these 3 gallon pots are adequate for having plants no more then 3 feet tall after harvest?

Are my plants to lanky to go into flowering and just get to tall and fall over or will they grow huskier and thicker?

Any advice would help me out alot.


SETUP:
-2' 20 watt flourescent tubes(warm and bright white, right over plants)
-3 more clfs around plants and plan on adding acouple more.
-temps:65*-80*
-Eb stone bat guano organic tea (9-2-1)
-fan blowing on plants
-45% - 65% humidity
-slightly acidic water/soil


Any info that i didnt provide that is needed can just be asked about.

I would say let them veg for another week so you can give them longer to grow a little more bushy. As for the bucket, I would go with a 5 Gallon Bucket instead of 3. You can never be too careful!

ok. so how hard would it be to transplant all the soil and roots into a bigger pot. And when would be the best time to do it?

Also i just bought fox farm tiger bloom which is 2-8-4, would it be neccisary to start using small amounts of the tiger bloom as well as my organic bat guano tea. so i can start getting my plants used to the tiger bloom so when they go into flower i can give full strength with no problems? What can i do for better leaf growth?

Wow. They really did reach for the sky. You aren't gonna get much off them the way they are. So it's experiment time. Cut them in half. Put everyone of those little floros within an inch of your plant. Turn your fan on them and let them bush out for about a month. Then throw them into flower. But don't flower them before there is something worth flowering.

i say take a string and pull the topsdown,than lower the lights;give them more light if you can,let them get bushy than flower.But first i would transplant into 5 gal buckets if you have the room.good luck.

those are a little skinny so, what I would do is tie them down, like I always say. That will make those side shoots take off from the sides. do that for like a week or two then see whare you stand...

Mogie, to my understanding or by what I was told, you dont lose any weight from them stretching, just not as compact buds, fill me in could ya?
