IS my bulb height position correct for stretch?

[Bennyweed1]

I flip to 12/12 five days ago and am questioning whether my bulb height is correct to induce a nice solid stretch. Thanks for the input.

But will that give me a stretch? I thought I want to drop the bulb once these hoes are done stretching??

BennyWeed1,
May I ask why you want them to stretch?
I've been trying to get them to stop.

LOL....I want more canopy absorbing this light that is bouncing off the walls. I mean if I was growing mylar id be happy!

haha let me borrow some of your stretching business friend! I have no gonja and no stretch! Im hurting badly!!

Ok Holmes I think you'll get the most growth by giving your plants the prime lighting...tease them up a little if you please. These sours finished stretching at the ceiling! Peace

those cages are probably a really good idea too.

you want strong growth, not actual stretching.

they will stretch anyway during flowering, with the cages you could get them to grow upwards as you wish, spreading the flowersites as you go.

Jack Flash
Sour Diesel
Pineapple Express
Purple Kush

I want some decent three footers but it just doesnt seem like it is going to get there.

I push them together and crowd them up to the light until they show stress then nudge back...peace

Yeah it seems like a dumb question now. Looking at your pic I can see you planned for it. They still got plenty of time left.

Mine are 5' tall including the 5 gallon bucket and the lights can't go any higher. Really wish I'd turned them back a couple weeks earlier.

I am with cravenmore. Move them as close to the light as you can. As they get bigger move them back from the light. This way the light does not escape between the plant. I don't think you have the bulb low enough either. It should not be completely above the plants. I may be wrong but it looks to be a couple inches above the plants. Drop it till the socket is a inch or two above the canopy but the bulk of the bulb is below the top of your plants. As they stretch move it up till stretch is over then center it in the canopy.

Alright I feel ya both. Good vibes for serious! I was under the impression I should have the tip of the bulb at the highest part of the canopy until they stop reaching for the light. Then drop it down until the mogul socket is level with the canopy and the bulb is in the midst of greenege.

This is my first vertical so I wanted to know what other cats were doing. Granted it is a simple grow, I was hoping for a nice yield.
