overgrown, tip of plant torched, two weeks into flowering

Hi there all, one of my plant grew more than 2 inch in a day and when i came back from work..all the tips (or early bud?) were torched...i wonder if anyone here had this kinda expereince?how bad will it effect the flowering of the plant?

Also..i got two plant going in to flowering together...but one of the seems to be budding extremely slow...is the budding timing different from strain to strain?

Another qeustion..as long as there are some white pistils..it is female plant...right or false?

and finally..check out my pics and some comment please...:)

i believe thats ur lights burning the tips, if not as i can't see really how close u have them but it looks close if not what nutes u have them on and whats the ppm at?? ph??

yeah it's the bulb that burnt the tip alright....but what i was asking is how bad will this affect the budding process....
I dun have a ph meter so i have no idea what's the ph of the soil...

if u want ur plant to grow right and to know whats going on u better get a ph/ppm meter and as far as effect naw ur fine on that just watch them closer as they'll start to grow alot more now

It'll be ok, done the same myself before.

you'll be fine most likely.....you're still really early into flowering so your plants will still
grow a little more in height....since you have a lot of time left till harvest they'll recover and continue to bud.

I'd say the slow growth is from lack of light.....even if that's not what's causing the slow growth you still need more light on those....you can buy a cheap socket splitter....its basically a hard plastic Y that splits the socket into 2 therefore you could have 4 lights running in that space.....they cost about 3bucks.

yes the type of growth speed in flowering varies from strain to strain

yes those are both very much female

wow..thanks for the tips....will post more pic later to update my conditions...thanks thanks thanks...:thumbsup:

actually i do have four light running in that place..just that the photo above didnt manage to catch the other two a the top....shall i put all four on top of the plants?

You could either put the other 2 lights on top or give the plants some side light.

yes I would, if they're CFLs ... then def.....CFLs need to be 2-4inches away from your plant for them to be the most effective.

light diminishes rapidly the farther away it is....just look up the inverse square law and you'll see what I mean.

i got another problem now...the torched plant cant seem to stop growing in height...it's only about 5-6 inches before it exceed my grow box..the internodes seems to be really long to...i think it's a skunk strain...I tot the plant it supposed to stop to grow and concentrate on budding one i switch the light but it's already 3 weeks into flowering it's still growing...(about 2 inches last week) it's there anyway that i can stop it to grow...??thanks...

during flowering you are suppose to expect anywhere from 2 to 3 times increase in height, and no you cant stop it unless you dont want bud but once they reach the top they will most likely continue growing to the side on the box

get some string and tie he down man ...

ye.. tie them down ..
you achieve many benfits form this.
-you use up space mroe efficienlty
- the buds begin to grow straight up towards the light aloowing more room for bud/ branch growth
- your lighting is able to reach all the way down to the bottom branches (ur gonna need all the light u can get espcially with CFL lighting)

As a worst case senerio... And alst resort. You could cut the top off if you can't move your light to the sides or you tent/Cab/Closet

I had to cut the top off once The plant lacked but I still got some decent Nuggs,, I was 2 weeks in to flowering I find this is when the most stretching happens.

Good Luck

That's a last resort because it DOES decrease yield. Try tying first.
