Ok,
I am an experienced grower,
But, out of growing for 3 years, not by choice,
But,
Back at it again.
Ok, so when I grew my plants, I did everything in my power to avoid leggy or stretched out plants.
I mainly kept my night time temps(or attempted to) at a few degrees warmer than my daytime(lights on) temp. Negative differential.
I strived to veg out my plants this way, keeping the nodes as tight as possible....aiming for long tight nodded colas during veg and flower.
I see people here with nodes 2-5 inches apart. That would set me in a panic.
Not sure if I'm outta the loop now cause of my time off or if things have changes, but,
Isn't compact tight nodes while vegging out a plant the goal? Or is it not needed when growing out 4 foot bushes wide bushes with horizontal lighting?
My methods were used when I would work with higher plant numbers(10plants/1000w)...
But,
Now I will be working with one plant per 1000w.
Please explain the theory of why people look for a nice stretch.
I need to learn why this is done.
I cut short 3-4 inch clones, and strive to have the plant not as long and lanky to not waste a plants energy to shuttle nutrients such a far distance.
In general, I like to super crop, lst and keep nighttime temps almost as warm if not warmer than daytime temps to avoid stretch. I try to keep the nodes as right as possible. Is this not right when growing 4ft wide 4ft high bushes?
Am I wrong?
Please explain.
Thanks
