13 weeks. Fired up the 250w hps again and moved the pot direct under the light. The buds gained some volume over the week and one started stretching again so i had to bend some branches down.

Nice grow look forward to you smoking it. Mine got stunted by bad soil and are recovering in fox farms soil, some died. Long way to go for me, not gonna flip to flower for a month or so.
Good luck man.
Think some gonna get big with the mega stretch. Have you enough headspace to raise your lamps? You may get individuals stretching a long time.
I'm happy that i have build my soil and have to water only. Think with nutes i would have burned or stunned them too.
But i think they are worth the effort. The most resinous one starts to smell like jasmine what i realy like.
I think the stretching will be no problem. I bend the stem when it gets too high and that has worked so far. They can get going sideways so much it is a jungle in there, but vertically never a problem.
I use 10,000 K lights now and in the future 6400 K lights, so that keeps things short and also keep the lights really close to the tops.
How do the individual plants stretch? Got one that is already overgrowen by the others with imo normal stretch. The most stretchy one started growing again when i fired up the hps.
Looking great chilliwilli, your efforts to properly finish indoors this wild sativa from Khalifa are much appreciated
Not sure about your flowering photoperiod, but since the tops are still stretching with delayed flowering i would try to lower down the photoperiod a bit more and don't provide nitrogen, at least until the whole plant is in full flowering mode. Try to also avoid any peak of excessive heat on the tops.
Hi dubi
I run the lights 11/13 the whole time. I like the little faster flowering with modern cultivars and can live with the little lower yield.
One plant started stretching again after using the hps again.
What do u think down to 10/14 for the last month or 2? I assume that the one that is still stretching will go the whole 26 weeks(~xmas-new year).
Hope everything is fine with u and your people since its turbulent time in spain.
Yes, i would recommend to lower down the flowering photoperiod to 10/14, it works best with this kind of extreme tropical sativa strains.
If the stretching in mid flowering is only happening to one plant then try to avoid too much heat on the tops or excessive N feeding for this plant.
You are doing a great job taming the beast indoors All the best for the rest of the flowering.
