Wow those babies are stretching! My first grow so wasn’t sure what I was doing at first I almost killed them in veg. So I spent a month getting them healthy then switched to flower. I’ve been bending shoots under The nets almost daily, probably why they aren’t as tall as yours?Growing in soil? Sounds like it if these are 3 months old. Coincidentally I have a crop of Sour Diesel that just completed week 3 of flower. Mine is in coco coir, and it's grown fast. I'm running out of room (again) during the flower stretch.
8 days ago I swapped out the tent mid-grow for a 1-foot-taller one, and the plants had 27 inches of clearance. This shot is from then. Today they are 15 inches taller than this!

Mine don't have much smell yet either.

I got mine in fox farm soil using fox farm trio nutes. Once I got tent to even 78-80 degrees and 50 rh these babies got healthy as can be
So from what I’ve read they definitely stretch but mostly first three weeks of flower so hope those babies stop stretching too far! LolI read in a few places that Sour Diesel stretches a lot. I really hope I'm not one of those who ends up with plants that triple in height. They've basically doubled in height in 3 weeks.
I'm growing in coco coir with 5x daily waterings. They are certainly growing faster than anything I've grown before, save perhaps corn in Iowa.
I just checked, and I think the stretch is near the end. Not much change today, and in the nick of time.So from what I’ve read they definitely stretch but mostly first three weeks of flower so hope those babies stop stretching too far! Lol
I’ve done nothing but ask questions on this site lol it’s kind of nice to try and help someone out!I just checked, and I think the stretch is near the end. Not much change today, and in the nick of time.
My grow tent has windows so you can check things while still sealed up. I no longer look down at the buds in the window.
I did that for the first couple of weeks into flowering. Before that I cropped 3 times, and arranged branches into different net openings to flatten the canopy. But they were just growing so fast that I had to start bending and weaving too. That was in a net about 8 inches above the first. But those puppies just kept growing, and faster. I ended up taking everything out of the tent and replacing with a taller one. That played havoc with my net weaving as I had to try to reweave the plants back into a net after the move. Figuring I had plenty of space (27 inches) I spaced them into the net again, more or less, but quit weaving and bending. Well, in the past 8 days they grew another 15 inches, and hopefully have stopped going up now. Otherwise I'll put another net in there and start bending and weaving again.I’ve done nothing but ask questions on this site lol it’s kind of nice to try and help someone out!
I would definitely recommend for next grow a couple scrog nets for later veg and keep bending the shoots growing up every few days, I went right into 3rd week of flower.
Once I saw buds forming and growth stopping I stopped moving them around. Now buds are getting fatter on a very level spread out canopy.
I could see where they were growing inches in a day that’s why I researched LST and it worked great!
here’s a photo from nets installed to most recent flower pic…
Haha yeah makes growing easier with a little help for sure, maybe mine aren’t settled yet or maybe a little different strain not getting as tall. I’m hoping mine are not getting much taller I don’t have too much room eitherI did that for the first couple of weeks into flowering.

Sure has been an interesting site. Found it only this year. Could have used the knowledge last year - that was school of hard knocks.
Looking closely at your pics, I think yours are probably about as tall as they will get, and certainly with weaving and bending you seem to be fine.Haha yeah makes growing easier with a little help for sure, maybe mine aren’t settled yet or maybe a little different strain not getting as tall.

Ok yeah I wasn’t sure if the buds would develop taller or just fill in, but it does seem like they’re full on flowering now haven’t seen much height growth last couple daysLooking closely at your pics, I think yours are probably about as tall as they will get, and certainly with weaving and bending you seem to be fine.
It was really cool to watch the buds refind their way up to the light lol, here’s a pic from my window..Ok yeah I wasn’t sure if the buds would develop taller or just fill in, but it does seem like they’re full on flowering now haven’t seen much height growth last couple days
