Thanks

Keep the light tight to the plants is the best method of avoiding stretch and also use as much Halide light as possible..

theres also some products that work, bushmaster comes to mind.

just about any nute with sea kelp will help.

I just picked up a 1000w MH, so that should help as long as I can find a spot to run it that will stay cool enough.

Expat, what is it in sea kelp that helps with stretching? Just curious.

Thanks guys.

not really sure, have read a few articles on it, and a friend had used the bushmaster. seaweed, seakelp does control stretchin to some extent.

ive used a seaweed nute for flowerin, and didnt do that much for me, and made the bud golfball shaped, where another cut right next to it, fed other nutes made a spear shaped bud. seemed to decrease the yield for me.

Cap's right for sure, i foliar B-52 first and second week of flower on stretchy plants i know for a fact it stops some of the stretch.

i've tried two methods.
one being to top the crap out of dem and get them started in flower as small bushes.

the second being to put them in young, keep the lights tight, and use bushmaster....

the bushmaster is something new i've only tried twice, seems to work but you have to keep the dosage on the weaker side cuz it can deform the plants.
someone else recommended, or at least mentioned, bushmaster being a benefit to keeping the ogkushes small(relatively), so i decided to try it....

good luck.
