Got some sativas and some indicas. Right now they are 2-3 feet tall. Some are quite leggy. I can start to bend them some so they have greater exposure. I am using mixed light, fluorescent indoors. Building a light kit, cobs, but not had time yet. First grow. Want to get max yield. Also what would you suggest for bloom fertilizers?A strain can stretch from hardly any at all, to up to double the height it's at when you initiate flowering. Most will gain about 1.5 times their height. If your using a tent such as I use, I have a 7' max. ceiling so I cannot let any plants get taller than 24" or so, before flowering. With Sativa's I would probably flower them at 6". All depends. You left out lots of variables. :cool:
They look good but need to be trained down. If you go and pinch(crush) every tallest shoot then itll help direct it down. If you hit them with a stick it mimics wind gusts but everyones afraid of hitting their plants for some reason.Got some sativas and some indicas. Right now they are 2-3 feet tall.

You got a jungle of healthy looking plants going on. You still have no mentioned how much height you have to work with max, counting lights and you need to keep the lights as close to the tops as possible. If I were you, I would switch to 12/12 flowering schedule immediately. I would also defoliate the lower branches of many leaves to open it up to light and airflow.Got some sativas and some indicas.

As for your ferts, there are many. I use Advanced Nutrients PH perfect trio, Grow, Micro, and Bloom. It's actually made with hydro in mind but works great in any medium. The reason, my well water has to be adjusted and this takes all the work out. Just fertilize according to the schedule on the bottles. If you start using powerful LED lighting, then you reduce the feeding schedule 1/2 strength. I have also used the Foxfarm base trio of ferts, but I find I have bigger yields with Advanced. Many of the growers on here will have their own fertilizer favorites. You can look at my pics, I just harvested today. I have a thread in Introduce Yourself, called Hello Folks. Good luck and feel free to ask away. :cool:
Thank youIf thats the max height you have to work with and that is the space you are going to flower them in, then i would suggest you leave 3-5 nodes on the plant, side shoots are all stretched and developed nicely so you would have a nice canopy much easier to train. You can top down to 6th for example and clear everything below 3rd that would give you 8 nice colas and a much more even canopy. You can do 2-4-6-8 tops if you want. Just an idea.

Super cropping at this stage, how much room do you have? I usually start flower at about a 18-20 in depending on strain.Thank you all for the replies. I was thinking of LST or Supercropping for training them now. What would be your opinion? Also have been giving them Canna A and B so far what fertilizer would be good for the flowering stage? Thanks again.
Thanks RR1. I will follow the advice.Super cropping at this stage, how much room do you have? I usually start flower at about a 18-20 in depending on strain.
Some sativas will stretch 300 percent or even more if under lit.
I have a shorter strain called THC Bomb, but one is a monster. Been bending for a week now.
I have good success with floranova series, but all nutes grow well with some knowledge and care. Clean out the underneath a little every week, last big trim 4 weeks into flower.
Good luck and have some fun.
