Node Spacing. What’s Best And How To Control It

[Monster762]

ok pretty much as it says.

Been looking and not much on spacing of nodes. But obviously it’s important.

I’m kind of new so I’m not 100% sure what is and isn’t possible to fill.
Or the truth as to how it will effect yield.

Are these too far apart? 30 days in so 30 days to fill.

And I know it’s too late now but how can I control the spacing early on? Lights were close.
But I also read if the temp change day and night swings too far it’ll cause this. I’ve been hitting mid 60s in dark. 77 lights on

Genetics plays a big role in node spacing. To be honest that is a lot of space and there is not much u can do at this point to fill those in. on the bright side u have about 30 days left and that’s when they put on the most weight so it may fill up a bit, but don’t expect big long fat chunky colas. Sure looks like sum high quality weed though.. Grandpas Breath below notice the node spacing and how tight the colas are.

Yeah. My green crack first grow was long tight colas. Might be the genetics like you said. That one is loompa goo. I thought lights being closer would keep em tighter. Ended up stacking frost not nodes.

I think inter nodal spacing has a lot to do with the kind of lighting you use as well. My cob and CMH really tightened the spacing up from the blurple lights i ran before.

Yeah. Actually thinking of it they are tighter in the others. Might be genetics. Both the ones with nodes spread are crosses with same blueberry male.
The blotto under full t5 nodes are tight.

Try Mainlining :) It will make almost any strain make 8 or 16 giant tight colas but spectrum of light has a big thing, run 5000k for super tight nodes or 3000k for spaced out

See that’s what I mean. I didn’t know 3000k spaces more than 5000k. I got 6400k and 3000k bulbs 50/50 in my 8 bulb t5

I’ll have to look at mainlining.

I can attest to that. I have nodes almost stacked on each other. Running a 5000k LED beast of a commercial light. Sorry pics are jumbled. Before mainlining and after. Nodes sooo tight.

Utilizing an additive with high phosphorus/potassium content during middle to late veg and early flower will help with not only internodal spacing, but lateral growth as well. I've been playing around with all kinds of different feeding/lighting combos for quite some time now. Here's a shot of some Silver Pearl about 12-13 days out of the cloner in a Rainforest hooked to a 1/10th hp chiller keeping the water temps at 62°
