My last crop was my first, and i only let the plants get about 2 feet tall, but the growth was so dense that the bottom half never got any light, therefore didnt really flower. I am a few weeks into my next crop, and again the plans are growing very compact. I have a 400w and great reflection, but this strain is suppose to grow vertical, no topping. My question is, how can get these plants (4) to grow Rating: 5

If trying to stretch her up instead of out, LST and topping should not be considered, as they will shorten the plants, not make 'em stretch.

Sativa dominates stretch much more than indica dom's. Much, much more.

In flower, add a dose of growth formula nutrients (in addition to your flower nutrients) for a week or two. They'll stretch. No telling how much since we don't know if it's an indica or sativa though. :thumbsup:

Molasses works as a carbo-loading formula. After the stretch, use 1/2 tsp per gallon (once a week on non-feeding days) to help fill-in the blanks. The molasses also has calcium, magnesium, iron, assorted micronutrients...

What kind of light are you using, and is it height-adjustable? (you're not using the ceiling light in the closet, are you?)
