My girls didn't have a flowering stretch

I know there are people out there that don't believe water temp has an effect on growth ,I'm not one of them I think it has a direct effect on them when it is really cold(under 60 )it seems to have slowed my Autos way down , I just put a ceramic heater in my bloom room and Im hoping it raises the Ambient temp in my cellar , 20 degree days do not help much though

kpenn I think you will get a few ounces

Kpenn That is funny and very weird!!! Never heard of them, but I just went to their website and I see that they only have seven strains.
I have no idea how many grams you'll get, but the buds look good.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I am 1 week into the switch to flower. 3 plants have not grown and 1 only grew 3 inches thus far. However, I gave them fresh water and nutes today. They typically grow for the 1st few days after getting fresh water and nutes. My manufacturer recommends changing every other week. I may switch to half doses and change weekly. My temps range 65-75 daily. I think my water temps might be dropping overnight preventing growth. I am going to leave things as they are as it's working very well. ( in regards to overnight water temps). Madman

Hey madman, my temp range was pretty wide for the last 2wks of veg and the first 3wks of bloom. They were about 62-80

Got better hold on my temps, now they range from 68-78

[Kpenn]

That's pretty interesting OJH. Mine were in veg for 60days and today is day 30 of bloom.

Ive heard people say I defoliate like you do, so in your experience, with these size plants how much do you think I could yield???

I'm posting better pictures in the comments in just a second.

alltatup yeah that's where it really sucks. This is my first grow, obviously. lol but these seeds were brought back from Colorado as a gift.

Massive Seeds is the company, and they have literally very minimal info on their website. It was a variety pack and they didn't come labeled, supposed to be feminized and 1 was a male. On the website, they don't even have the same seeds that is advertised as being in this variety pack. Just a very sketchy company. I got 10 seeds and popped 4. The rest are going to be gifted to someone or tossed.

I already bought some Nirvana Northern Lights seeds for after this grow

And I hate to hear that, but I'd rather keep my expectations in a reasonable range that get my hopes up big time when harvest comes. So thank you GreenDragonRon

Kpenn, What are the temp differences between lights on and lights off? I read in one of the marijuana horticulture books, that if the temps stay within 10 degrees, stretch is limited. I don't have any experience with this yet.

kpenn I've asked questions about bloom stretch .when I had my bloom room in a tent I never got more than a few inches of stretch WTF right .1000hps IDK so after long deliberation I decided that if you leave your plants in veg for a long time that they dont stretch when you put them into bloom. Maybe I'm wrong but my I put 6 plants in bloom and kept 6 in veg (same age plants) when I reached week 5 of bloom I put the 6 that were in Veg into Bloom and the plants are the same size ,
This made me think that a plants is decided how tall its going to be and will reach that height whether its in veg or bloom I could be wrong but thats my observation

[alltatup]

What strains are they? I always read the info on the height to expect from a strain.

[GreenDragonRon]

I hate to be a pooper but with my limited experience, I would guess you'll get 200 g max out of the 3 plants.

[Kpenn]

They have been flowering for 29 days.

I expected them to stretch waaaaay more. One literally stretched 5in at the max. The other two only stretched 2-3in.

I have a 600w HPS and a 1000w COB (220 actual watts). That's a total of 820 actual watts.

Do you guys think I'll still be able to pull 400g off of these three plants?? Considering the rest of the grow goes without problems.
