Is there something to prevent stretching?

I thought I saw someone talking about this the other day, some kind of freebie they got somewhere. I thought it was Advanced Nutes but I could be wrong.
Anyway thanks.

I think you might be thinking of BushMaster, it is supposed to make stretchy plants more compact/stack nugs better, but I couldnt tell you first hand if it works or not. I do however, know that if you do use the stuff, you WONT be able to re-use your medium assuming that you would be. I got a bubba a while back that was put into some coco that had been hit with BM and that thing grew maybe 8" in 3 months. hope that helps, might be good for the more stretchy strains like og

Bushmaster works. I have never used more than 3ml a gallon. It is VERY powerful. Be careful

Blue light instead of HPS

I agree with Telegraphist as I have never used, BM but have use just MH and the stretch was very much more compact with more trichrome production and smaller buds, but all around the smae weight as the buds were more dense. I still prefer HPS.

No sure how it really affects yield. I am still learning to grow(have been for two years) and am always switching strains so have not really done side by side with Bush master. I will tell you that i have grown fine looking and decent yielding plants with it. As nicely yielding as others as far as i could tell.
I use it at 2-3ml per Gallon as soon as i switch to 12/12. feed with it for two days in a row and then stop it. It is recommended to do a water soak after the last time to get it out of the medium, but i have never done that. Pretty much stops them in their tracks.
READ THE BOTTLE AND DONT USE TOO MUCH. HEARD MANY STORIES OF IT SERIOUSLY DAMAGING PLANTS. Never mine though
