Is it plausable!

I've not done my research on planting indoors & i was wondering about getting plants to stretch!I grew them in the litte cups untill around 2 inches high & then transplanted them to 5 gal buckets.I didn't read about the importance of transplnating from small planters to bigger ones,but now that i'm stuck where i'm at,i'm wondering if i can get alittle more height out of them by rasing the light up around 6 to 8 inches to make them reach for the light?I have some pictures of them in there 5 weeks of growing,and maybe someone on here can give me some idea on how to make the grow a still be a descent grow.Any advice would be most appreciated.

dude you can move it as far as you want they will only stretch more:stoned:

I appreciate the advice mickey,i should have done more research on this subject,but didn't see the thread about the importance of transplanting untill they were planted lol,so i guess as they say live & learn!I raised the light up about 10 inches & i'm going to take a snap shot of them in 1 week,and i'll see where there at.Thx again.

Time to go to Plan B..... I hope, you have very, very good drainage in those 5 gallon buckets?...(lots of perlite and lots of drain holes?..)

don't raise or lower your light...procede as normal...no need for panic...:thumbsup:

Yes i have alot holes in botom of the buckets plus i have the lids ducktaped to the bottom of the buckets to catch all over watering!I thought of all that lol,i just didn't think about the proper transplanting tecniques.I raised lights some to see if they would streach some,and i can't say anything bad about the way there growing because they look good and there very bushy & i just topped them for the 2nd time,and my strain is the A.M.S & it's Genetics: Swiss sativa, Swiss indica.So i figure there going to be short and bushy compared to just a stavia plant.I also used good potting soil with perlite & vermiculie & alittle play sand so maybe they won't disapoint me.I'll keep my fingers crossed lol!!

Why do you want to stretch them? Most folks growing indoors want to keep them as short as possible.....
And dont forget that when you put them into flowering (with propper lighting... I dont know about CFLs and other than HID lighting) they will almost double in size.... It is good to keep the nodes as close together as possible.... and keep the light as close as you can without burning the tops...

Wel it woud be a waste of grow room if they only got 3 foot high at flowering,i have 6 more feet from them to grow,so i'd like to make them taller so that my plants would produce more bud!I have topped them 2 times i have plenty of runners so i;, hoping by moving the light up i can get them to stretch some then i'll lower it back down to 10 in from plant!
