Ahhh It wont stop growing!!!

Lol. Yea so I switched my lights to 12/12 when it was 12" Tall. Now shes at 36" 4 weeks later. I dont mind the extra growth but its going to diminish my final product... I dont have very good penetration with my lights, and I'm supplementing with side lighting as much as i can.

I know there's no standard flowering stretch. And I have read and heard on here that its either 2x or 3x from veg. So far i'm 3 times the height. I hope she stops soon. lol.

3x is normal for most hybrids. at four weeks, you should start stalling and putting out calyxes. in another month, you should start gaining weight (strings may be required, prepare early).

You can pinch the taller stems to slow it down if need be.

Otherwise you can try and tie them down.

Tieing them down is always my first choice.

I like to tie them down and then pinch them.

I don't know if it works on plants though

I like to cram em in a black pit and light em on fire...

don't know if that works on plants either.

4 weeks in @ 12:12 seems a lil late to be super cropping...imo
tying em down wouldn't slow down the plants transition to bloom as much...

Or in the case of this Malawi here, make a tiki hut and tie them up.

Shit is outta control at 7 weeks, should be done by Easter?.

Oh the Calyxes are there and its looking very pretty so far.

I think it may be hermied. But I don't want to jump the gun. If the light isn't intense enough, could a calyx NOT open? and show the pistils? If that even happens. but a few areas of my plant look that way...
Look at the bottom center.... Calyx? or Ball?

That one on the bottom right definitely looks like a ball, think you got a hermie

Thats what I was afraid of. Being it my first ALMOST successful grow, im keeping shim.... Ive heard of diligently clipping the nuts off. Does that actually work? Considering it still smoke-able, thats why im keeping it.
Ive been keeping a close eye on them. There are NO clusters..... Yet. Do Hermies make clusters, or just a single nut at a node?

tweezers and a baggy man might be able to get the pod without damaging the exterior

Ok. Ill do that tonight. Im affraid becuase some that I though were nuts are now open with pistils protruding out. Like WTF. How come it cant be cut and dry? haha. I was thinking of waiting for them to "dangle" a bit then snip. Thoughts?

Live and learn bro. Next time trim and do a little training on her/m. This will help you control the height.

wow dude, that sucks. i'd pinch the stems and fold the mains in half, let them grow horizontal.

Plant looks good. I don't think the stretch would be as bad if you had better and more lights. Nonetheless I'll be happy to take it off your hands lol. Take a rope and bend the top down

Yea, i'm almost positive it wouldn't be as bad if I wasn't running CFL's.
