Hey guys I have a little issue that is driving me crazy my nodes are offset and I dont know whats causing it. I know its not the soil cus 2 different genetics same problem same with the soil different soil. and it's also doing this in my DWC set up so its gotta be maybe the light im using 175 HPS. I know its not my nutes because im using the same as my friend and thats where the genetics came from off his plant and his was perfect thats the only other thing I can at least think of I know some one out there knows the answer thanks guys

i see absolutely no problem in those pics concerning the nodes.

you say you got the genetics from another persons plant?

the plant first has nodes mirrored on the meristem, then as it ages its nodes begin to alternate...just an indication of age...especially from clone.

were you to grow from seed, the nodes would be formed in pairs until it go older, then they do what yours do...

relax, it's gonna be fine.

What the fuck? Ok... sorry, I'm laughing, but here's the deal. When the plant is a wee baby the nodes are directly opposed, and that means that it's a baby (i.e. unsexed). When the nodes begin to alternate (what you're calling offset) is when it shows sex. So, you WANT alternating nodes.

Trichome, I don't know how to get directly opposed node growth out of clones.

Hilarity ensues.

the only reason I brought it up was because his plants were perfectly even he grew from seed I cloned off that plant and wasnt sure if it was normal

lol i was going to say is after about 6 weeks from seed most strains start to alternate nodes, just a maturity thing, my moms have been alternating nodes since they became moms lol, i don't think they ever really go back...i suppose stronger lighting on your friends part might be the reason they held on to opposite branching style for longer, once they start them flowering though you will all have alternating branches...
