Huge Plants

[dwyndorf]

Hey Guys,

 

I can't seem to grow any small plants, I've got three strains going at the moment; Bronzewhaler, Wonderberry and Jack Herer. I turned them down at 3 weeks when they were only 12 inches, now they're 4 foot after 5 weeks, much bigger than I wanted. Is it the Canna nutrients I'm using or are these strains known to grow huge. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers

grow a pure indica strain as these will stay very squat, or get some plant hormone from the hydro shop that stops your plants getting any bigger.

bonza bud is popular, but yea I have had strains (g13) that didnt stretch at all, and then others (NL#5XAK47) that have done the same as yours. Its hard to get it right at first but then next time you know to turn them sooner.

 

 

I prefer to train the plants through the stretch than use chemicals but if you aint got the time I guess it's an alternative.

 

I agree!!

I prefer to train the plants through the stretch than use chemicals but if you aint got the time I guess it's an alternative. How close to the plants is your lamp? Are you tipping (aka topping) your plants? Tipping them at fourth or fifth node and tying and/or weighing down the branches until stretch is done usually works for me. Left untopped some strains are almost uncontrollable.

Yup, I'm the same tugboat, prefer training over the chems. We have to tip the widow to keep the bitch down!!! She's a bit of a stretcher........
