They are from seed I'm doing a phenohunt
I don't think so, I thought of this myself and I spun the dial on both the lights and they didn't turn on until they were supposed to.

Considering they look very healthy, I'd double check the timer by going into the room just after lights off time to ensure they're really off, and also ensuring they're still off just a few minutes before the scheduled light's on time. Ya never know until you witness it yourself.
Yes, this! The timer could be sticking...Just because it works when you turn it manually means little. I would witness lights on and off for a few days to make sure....or swap it out. Maybe you already have, but this sure seems like a timer issue to me.
Yes I think that I will set an alarm for 3:00 tonight and double check that they are turning off. If they are still in veg I am super bummed, I know I can tie them down and recover from this but I was so proud of this canopy lol
Damn nice canopy for your 3rd grow. I'd be proud too.
might be worth looking into for sure, could definitly be useful right now i'm definitly sweating this a bit i have put alot of time and effort into this i would hate to not be able to get these girls to harvest
I have been lurking on the forums for close to a decade, as well as consuming alot of youtube vids in this time as well, not that that replaces experience, but i feel like its helped me get going.
I didn't say they didn't "start stretching". The main reason I say they'll grow another foot is just because the emerging leaves at the top of your branches still look like they have 7 leaflets - meaning they're full sun leaves. Then they'll go to 5, then 3, then 1, then none (just calyxes). Once the 7 & 5 leaflet leaves end, then the nodes will get tighter, so maybe they won't grow quit a foot higher (one can hope). But from my experience it's always best to be prepared and plan for the worst case.
unfortunately you were spot on this time i have determined it was a timer I am pretty devastated right now not going to lie, not sure how to proceed they are so damn tall right now i dont know if i will get the height i need. I just split one trying to see how much bend i had. and i think the main branches are too thick to super crop. Oh i could cry
I would advise you to avoid trimming them (cutting off the tops of branches), unless you're willing to continue veg for another couple week. You'll just get a bunch of weak side branches which will grow a bunch of weak little buds instead of fat colas. If you need to, sacrifice some colas because the tent is full already, then do monster cropping or tie them down.
This is a great idea...If you can post a link to what you're using I'd appreciate it, as would others I'm sure!!
How much vertical room do you physically have left if your lights are all the way up? TBH, I've had colas pass the lights before on some of my prior screwups, and the colas were growing past the lights and touching the top of the tent (7' high). It didn't seem to cause those colas issues though. They didn't get light since they grew above the lights, but were huge and dense anyway. Just aim them away from getting burned against the lights as they stretch. Not much more you can do at this point I think.
