Any advice? Large long vegged plant before flip.

[Jhinnovations918]

You'll get tighter internodes stronger branches and less preflower stretch by increasing the dark period a few hours during veg. It changes the form of the plant when it gets a healthy dose of darkness. 18 hours light is on the extreme side. It's going to be a real shock to suddenly have a lot less hours of light they have adapted to in their life so far if going straight to 12-12. They are going to freak out and stretch growing stem in response for a few weeks. May be some help to glide, reducing light 30-45 minutes per week until they start flowering. Probably about 13 hours light will start some of them flowering. The damage is already done. From here out it's just damage control. You can manage.

I’m two days in now and on full bloom nutes already really three days in on 12/12

I did bump my lights up to 100 so it’s seems to be loving everything so far lower temps lower humidity, more food and some good additives and more space to breath more. Energy to spend and some more space to grow its roots into! Should be great as long as I didn’t take to much off…. I had too don’t have much room now a lot of touching branches and stuff through the canopy. I might end up having to cut more out after the stretch I’m hopping I still get one or I’m screwed lol I will end up with like 6 inches of buds on each branch if I’m lucky lol I need atleast 2 foot or growth with nodes to get anything decent I half thought about turning one mother but without flowering first idk. I do plan to try to reveg one after harvest to see what happens

Update! 6 days in on 12/12 found light leak theee days ago! Plants are happy and inst stretch pushing hard! They love the switch to connoisseur coco bloom and all my additives! Up potted to 15 gal ac infinity they seemed not to notice negatively at all even done on same day as trim and flip. Figured as much with them established and large! Not as worried about hight gain in the stretch as long as it only goes another week or a little longer. At least not as worried as I was about getting not enough or way way to much. Right now I think I’m gaining 3-4 inches a day I can probably get another 30 inches sadly if I do some bending and touching like I have been along the way. Issue I am having now is they grow way way to much foliage still so it’s getting way to dense already again! Feel like I might need to do another Maggie defoliation this week or let a bunch of branches get blocked out and not get close to the top. They grow giant fan leaves every day so idk. I have more lights but having power draw issues don’t think it can support much more. Fans are slow when lights are on and I really need to add at least two more fans already . I have a couple long extention cords but idk. Any advice or ideas I’m all ears thanks everyone!!!

only think I can think is pull apart to the outside and find a way to water my stringed interment at that point lol since there are well over 100 branches with the secondaries

You running in coco? Gotta know what’s up with the bags on your pots! Just to keep stuff out or keep light out? Keep moisture in? Anyway good move not sure how I didn’t think about it I am just worried I may cause a mold/ mildew issue

How long did you veg that?

 

[OgBoogs730]

Definitely some monsters I’ve noticed all this double and triple in size when flip is a myth they stretch of course but no where near double especially triple…. Good job so far

Well not if you do a short veg i easily get tripple when i do 25 days veg

I guess depending on the strain double and especially triple is an exaggeration

true some autos will grow like little dwarfs and then you have golden tiger...

Starting to not like autos

whhhhyyy if they finish that small means they didnt veg for long.speed over quantitiy.sometimes you want to have a smoke before the main grow is done :D

I’ll have to check again I think I was at 4 months 2weeks lol

Thanks yeah I have never grown coco before and heard some down right crazy shit that 80percent of us bs or misunderstanding what is taking place. But it is what it is lol I just love growing stuff!

Yeah short veg can double but long I am betting it gains 1/4th to 2/5th in stretch . But the thing is mine might actually double since I did an energy storage method I thought up and I had to end it once I flipped. so it’s like a spring I wound up tight and let go of now. The issue with that is I need to find a way to hold the spring tight until buds start gains… I hadn’t thought up a way until now I think next time I will try veg 3 months then use my storage method and and then I will get rid of all the secondary branches one week into slowly flipping to 12/12 so I have a decent amount of bud sights formed but can cancel all I don’t want then hold that method doing a few a day until I see the stretch start to slow a little and then let the spring go full tilt! Might be interesting and if so might be able to change weight per light limits!

The autos I tried in 2015 seems like they were not good at all haven’t touched them since but I see they have come a long way and might get a could to try again soon maybe some mephesto or something.

Night Owl has some great autos!
