Guess im reminding myself why i only do one strain at a time. I am wondering whether i should take out my rope rachets and zip tie the hood to the tent or leave the light whare it is. This is the first time since my first grow i am growing multiple strains.

20180325_211823.jpgmost of the tops are 18 to 24 inches from the lamp and looken good. My sativa dom plants of corce streched much more a couple colas i already folded over tonight one cola is less than a foot from the lamp. Suprised there isnt much sign of heat damage like the ones i folded i can see some foxtailing begining on in. My delema is if i raise the light loosing the rachets it will be moving most of the colas further away than i like but if i dont.....
Any words of wisdom?

Most strains these days are total hybrids .... of a 50/50 standard mix of indica and sativa no real biggy

should you desire you could take cutting of ther stretchies and clone them out

will take a little longer being in early bud

but really no biggy

as you have some serious leaning sativas there

nice too

patience imo patience ...lol

good luck

Nice plants. I always use stands and keep the light up high as I have different strains at different stages growing together. Canopy stays even. If I get a tall one I bend and tie branches down or supercrop or a combination as needed.

Plant or two short at the moment. Waiting for veg to catch up. But you can see the different crap I’m holding them up with.

20180228_081720.jpg 20180307_080339.jpg 20180310_084727.jpg I use 2 fixed trellis for support otherwise i would use risers of some sort. They were even within a few inches when i fliped here is a few more pics. Should i keep floding the last few high colas or raise the light the last few inches

I ran into the same problem with a mixed strain grow I had last year. 2 northern lights took off from the rest. They were easily a foot taller. I just gently leaned them into an open space in the canopy. The tops didn’t straighten back up towards the light they stayed horizontal but the buds turned out awesome. Had some vertical growth but I think it added more weight

I straighten her up for the pic and that plant was actually split across the two lights lol

Use the trellis to creat an even canopy.......I use the same shades as u and have done wot u suggested .....tbh.......the plants just kept going and I was back to square one,........some form of training will defo be needed ,I just tied them down... lol ...usually its the outher way round .....one thing i did notice .....u can widen the angle of that reflector. ....uv got it on its shortest when infact you can have it on its widest ,this will decrease heat by dissipation and inevitably let ur shade be closer to the plants.........i fear u have let them go to long buddy.....
