Hello Tom :) You answered yourself ;) ................. if you have the light close the plants won't strech and will bush out more than growing upward ;)

i second that mand if you raise the light a few inches every other day you should see a change in the height of the plantQuote:

how r ur plants comming a long buster?
yeah they are coming on very good better than i thought i ran into a problem last night tho with a yellowing of the leafs and a lil bit of wilting but i sorted this out with some epsom salts so everything is ok now i also tyed them down a bit to make them bush out a bit more and get a bit of light to the middle of the plant ill post a pic for ya to see
cheers m8 and your plants are coming on ok they will give you some pretty nice results when done
good luck to ya m8 :)
there looking good ....is that place you have them in close to being air tight? just wondering....could add some co2..
Ooh good, a thread about stretching.
Ive currently got 4 Lowryder seedlings under a 600w HPS, and the light is about 3-4 foot away from the plants because of heat and also I dont wanna singe them.
Will they stretch with the light this far away or not? The previous Low, Fiona (RIP) was grown under a 25w flouro for the first 3 weeks, then plonked under the 600w HPS, and there was minimal stretching.
Just wondering if these are gonna stretch or not under the HPS? The light is 95,000 lumens, and I havent lined it with mylar etc, so Ive worked out that the plants get around 15-20,000 lumens. Is this enough?
Sorry for the babbling.
Yes, your plants will be fine. If you think they are stretching then put the light a little closer and put your hand under the light. If it burns you then it will burn your plants. (Be careful) Also, lowryders are a great plant. Hope all goes perfectly well for you.
Tomthehippie, Yours look great, and yeah cant give anymore adive, for a talled plant, move the lights up a little every now and again. Good luck bro.
soo... so far on 1 hand iv gotsome1 saying.. there goin to take longer to grow in veg with a 200w fluorescent (if u look at that link) and on the other hand some1 saying that its because the lights very close..
can any1 clear this up 100% because if i move the light away to suit idea 2 when infact the light needs to be as close as can be to suit idea 1.. lol?
fluorescents doesnt get that hot keep it close with a little wind....
yeah it is close to being air tightQuote:

dude...make your own gallon jug live yeast 2 cups sugar...shake like hell un cap ...good to go for like 2 weeks , you will see a difference....if and only if you stop peeking for a while ....lol... oh and FYI plants only use co2 when the lights are on and it is around 80-90 degrees....
my m8 legal has tried that actually i think i will give it a shot too cheers m8 ill let ya know how it goes :)
They are a great plant - I had to harvest her early cos the cat knocked her over and she snapped in two, but the smoke WAS very nice, although not on par with ones Ive had before.Quote:

So a note to anyone who has heat problems - get some chain and move the light down by attaching the reflector to a length of chain, that lets the heat escape upwards, thus not frying your plants. :D
