Don't have a lot of answers for you. Little confused about the ones that got mold or bacteria, or whatever. I thought everything was fine and healthy. Why would some get it and some not? Why did you trash them instead of spraying a little antifungal on them, then fixing the circumstances that caused it (ie. lack of air circulation near that area?)?

About the lack of stretching, plants stretch when they are shaded or tricked into believing they are shaded. I have no idea what's happening, but who knows what hell breaks loose when mad scientists break new ground and play God. Normally plants want the whole spectrum, since all colors interact and regulate. But couldn't the lack of stretching just be because you are growing indica types? Jack Herer = Indica??? Hybrid? I kind of like the fact that mine are short and bushy instead of tall and lanky. Isn't it easier to work with them that way?
