I experienced the same stretch on my first grow and decided to put 1/4" wooden dowels around the perimeter of their pot and tied to them, kinda like LST except late. Grew spiral looking plants that each had 3-5 nice colas.
budlover13 Reviewed by budlover13 on . Stretching During Flowering Hi, I need advice on how to keep nodes compact during flowering. My plants were very compact in veg. However, when I switched to 12/12, they went from 12 inches to about 30 inches in a week! I kept the lights super close to try and prevent stretch, but they kept hitting the lights and I had to move it up every day. I have a 400w HPS growing in DWC. I have a couple in soil and those hardly stretched at all. My goal is to produce massive colas. Rating: 5
