Well, tell her to calm that budget shit down then. Proper equipment is an investment that will pay you back ten fold, even on the small scale.

After you get rolling you could pull every month or two depending on your setup. Look into perpetual cycles and do what works for you

I told you they were going to do this, to expect this. :p
What they're giving you is the flowering time, right? It's a living thing, you have to allow it to do its thing (this is becoming a common theme now, no?) and that's going to happen in its own time. You're a special situation because you're using coco coir, which means some feeding is needed but it's really easy to...
wait for it....
wait for it...!
Overlove your plants. Which I believe is something you were warned about in your other thread, no? ;) It's a common mistake, but it will set you back. More often than not the best action at this stage is no action, unless you actually see them dying. And you'll know that when you see it. :)

Good afternoon fellow enthusiasts ! ! ! Im hoping to NOT hijack this thread but I have had a similar issue in that my seedlings were indeed stretching due to low light (A singular T12 for the seedlings stage) in which case I had the light wayyyyy too high above the "tops" of the seedlings.
After much reading to remedy the situation I learned that you can simply "transplant" the seedlings to a new container that'll allow you to plant the seedling in soil UP TO just under the cotyledon. The best part about doing this (and this is where Id like to start a good dialogue about my "hypothesis") is that the elongated stem that is NOW buried in soil actually grows roots off of it.....
And that brings me to the crux of this post.....
Because more roots = bigger yields, is it not a good idea to almost purposely have seedlings stretch (to then bury deeper) to then get extra rooting to result in larger yields ? Keep in mind Im not all about the time to produce flowers but am more concerned with quality and yield. ....
I wanted to start a new thread about this but unfortunately I am NOT finding the button to start a new thread.....
I do realize there are other ways to increase rooting (layering) but figured if a person could save a seedling and at the same time increase the rooting of the plant at its mature stage - wouldn't this be a good way to do it? I would love to hear all thoughts on this process.......
I do understand in the poster's situation other elements of growing would need to be upgraded like lighting and less feeding in terms of nutrients etc.

I know a lot of growers like to do this, but I don't. I have found that seedlings tend to stretch at first no matter what. I usually start mine under full sun, and they stretch, often flopping onto the soil surface. It ain't no thang.
I've also found that burying too deep means more work down below for me; i.e. canopy control. If I simply plant to the same height then the crud I've cleaned out from the lowers stays cleaned out. I've also found that not a lot of root growth occurs in this particular area, a lot more occurs on the perimeter of the already-established root ball.
To start a new thread, you go to the particular forum, for example Basic Growing Information, and up at the very top there's a button that says Post New Thread or something like that.
