going smooth must be something wrong

[bumper55]

I have 4 Indica Diablo flipped from a 6 wks veg. to 12/12 bloom 2 days ago. I tied the plants down from 15" ( tallest) to 13" at a 60 deg. bending away from the grow lite. I'm hoping the plants will grow towards the light and I also staggered the tie-down stems like a fan to grow 1" apart when I cut the ties giving me an 1" to work around buds and additionally 8" - 12" added in tent hgt (60") for a tent that 's 2' x 4' x 60'. Can I continue to tie down plants in bloom if they stretch and how much stretch should I expect?

Stretch is strain specific with sativa's stretching the most (about double) with Indica's being less to nothing averaging around a 50% growth- so a 13" plant ends about 19".
They can be tied down all through the grow to get an even canopy or if they get too close to the light.
-I tied a 6 week in flower sativa- yesterday, pulling away from the center- and creating a nice canopy to finish off.

She looks great. I don't like to give unsolicited advice, but maybe thin out those bigger fan leaves, let the light penetrate better.

Thanks for the advice, it's always appreciated. So 19" is very safe, I have an additional 15" is there a way to take the additional distance to produce a better harvest.

Thank you very much and I welcome advice. I'm a newbie and having fun so all is good to me.

The depth of your canopy equal to the light penetration would yield more- that said: each light can only travel soo deep- so everything out of the range is wasted IMO.

No Title

I removed some of the dense foliage to expose more growth sits on the lower nodes. I hope I didn't remove too much. :doubtful:

never stop pulling them down...

Is it just me or does it look really nute burned

I've kept the ppm between 1100 -1500 ppm. One of the plants leaves grow out with near white edges around but turn completely green when mature. Got the seeds from a dispensory, but have purchased white rhino feminized from Sensi. this is the first time I've tried this so I wanted to know more before I used my purchased seeds. I be happy to get bud this round really.

No Title

I removed leaves from around the lateral buds, thinking it's a bud site along with the apical top bud. Not sure if I'm correct on that and I corrected nutrient burning indicated by leaf curl and tip burn. Can anyone indicate if they can see any pre-broom pistils, I'm not sure if it's new leaf tips or pistils. I can't find any bananas or balls.
