Purple Urkel stretch??

[sirharrynuggz]

I heard this one didn't stretch much, so was wondering how big I should let her go before I put her into flowering. I flower under 2K HPS, and would like to see at least 3 oz's from her. She's only about 12-14" right now, and took forever to get that tall. I just transplanted into a bigger pot today (a little overdue). All FFOF soil and PBP nutes with maxicrop and LK.

That's strange. I know a lot of you have grown the Urkel, but nobody can help with some stretch info? I guess I'll just let her reach about 30" tall before I switch the cycle, and keep my fingers crossed for a couple of z's.

I've read conflicting reports.... but from what I gather it's minimal to NO stretch, via Jaws' thread.

I have a couple cuts, and it is PAINFULLY slow as you know. I finally clipped 3 cuts off the mom, after she sat for a month, it's been a few weeks, and she still looks exactly the same...

LoL, yeah she's really slow. I know this one's real because of who I got it from, but if I had got the clone somewhere else I would have known it was legit from the excruciating veg time. Thanks for the info, stretch!

Np, and I agree... the looks are distinct, IMO, as well as the slow ass veg...

A ton of good info about Urk on GroNuts thread here:

hello there
ahhh yes the urkle, well dont expect to much strech a little is all you'll get....ummm best advice is to keep her trim while in vegg and let her go for atleast 40days, not sure what your urkle looks like at this time but mine had probably 150 branchs on her and she was a mass of twisted NO bud producing branchs in the center.....thats why i said keep her trimed up as best you can, also do your self a favor and topp her take the top 4 branchs and pull them away from the center of the plant and let the light get down through the center......depending on your wattage you should get a decent yield from a single urk, now dont go thinking your going to get a QP because you probably wont, but what you will get is some out fucking standing bud my friend...let her go atleast 65days in flower to get that awesome purple color...
peace

Urkle stretches about 25% at best usually. Light type (mh or hps), placement, and nutes could affect the amount it stretches but that's a good number to roll with. I dont know your floor space but i was told thru PM by a respected member who grows her a lot to flip her at 2ft tall, topped, with about 12 main branches. Throw about 16 plants per 4x4 space per 1000w. Run her 63 days and be on the lookout for mold later in flower. If you wanna really bring the color out of her flush her for at at least 2 weeks, low temps will help but its not neccessary. If run her in soil throw in some carbo enhancers like molasses - that helps too.

Ive had the cut for over a year now and only ran her in hydro when i first got her. When i run her again (soon!) I will follow those instructions right there. I'm probably missing something so later i may repaste the PM in full

Oh yea I hope you have odor control...

First time ran her with Ogre and Blue Dot with no filter til i was about a month into flower. Big mistake. The smell dominated the whole room to the point that i smelled nothing from Ogre and Blue Dot at all. The Urkle was the smallest shit in there and smelled up the room and the house...it was bad.

Also of the 3 strains in that room the mites was all over the Urkle. Only the Urkle, they didnt touch anything else. Either my mites got good tastes, or Urkle is kind of a mite magnet. Prolly a little of both
