Cantgrow Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Hi can some one please give me an indication of why my plants are always tall with large gaps between branches.Does this mean less yield?

Matanuska Thunder Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 most likely strain related - Sativa's are lankier than Indica'sSativa's (when compared to Indica's) have a larger distance (gaps) between nodes (the place leaves grow from) if your plant is Sativa Dominant (sounds like it is) or even 25% sativa there is a chance for that gap Less Yield?No, it's just how your plant is could also be because your plants are stretching for their source of light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantgrow Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I thought stretching also.They only get direct sun from 9am to 3pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growbabygrow Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't think stretching bro mine is about the same sun wise and the gaps between branches are not huge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_headroom Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'd go with stretching for light...I am no expert on this but I have seen how quickly and how far they will stretch to get into sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannagrowbuds Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Temperature differences between light and dark periods will also cause different internode distance. More than 10 degrees difference will cause larger spacing, less than 5 degrees will keep the plant compact. http://www.cannabis.info/usa/library/3816-dont-sweat-the-stretch/ Edited February 3, 2015 by wannagrowbuds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
