Coco, from hydro to soil?

[Bob Bush]

People my plant is shooting up. I was thinking if I started to treat it like in soil, like watering every three days, would that slow down the growth. At present I'm feeding, hand watering, like hydro in coco, every day. Anyone got any advice please.

I guess you could try waiting longer between waterings and see how it reacts but if the plant is drinking all the water you are giving it then just stopping for three days will definetly stun her

If what you are asking for is how to control the height of the plant then you should try bending, tieing and suppercroping. Have you seen the lst section of the website ?

Can you post us a picture give us a much better idea on what's Happening. Is it stretching to reach the light, or is it just growing too big 9 finger is right, you could even throw a net over it and tie it down lots of different options good luck show us some pics .

I've used coco like soil with water to waste/runoff and with steady drip like hydroponic I guess. Both ways worked. Have you flipped to flowering time yet?

in 3.5gal pots I can't wait 3 days to water or my plants would be unhappy. Every second day max

Hi lads,, it's in flower since 11th may, just started to flower bout a week ago. The lamp is 16" from table top. Can I super crop while she's in flower? Can't send pics, don't have camera. Anyone know when they stop stretching? Do they continue growing until harvest? Ta

You can absolutely suppercrop but very gently and providing some support. They will stretch until you see a half sphere made out of pistils on the tops and then it will fatten up and rise only an inch or two. As long as the pistils and new leaves keep growing with a "V" angle they'll keep stretching
