Wanna see what happens when......

[Harry Gypsna]

.....you put 6 young seedlings, which were on a raised area at the egde of the growroom...on the floor in the centre under the lamp...surrounded by plants much much bigger????

Its not pretty..., I can tell you, if you dont wanna see the most horrible mess, then please dont look








These are some cindarella99 X Skunk#1, that i was given by a pal! the 3rd pic shows the tape measure on the worst affected....6 inch internodal spacing . what an idiot!!! Cant believe I did it. the last plant is the opne with 6 inch internodal spacing!!!
what a disaster!! so, what do you reckon, are they completely fucked? what can I do( fuck all I know!!!)
Poor little buggers...theyu were doing so well until this happened too! fuck knows ehat possessed me to do that?
so, there you have it......Another fuck up, courtesy of Harry gypsna!
Be lucky now

Looks like the leaf in the first photo is trying to give you the high five.

Find some deep pots like rose pots or something like that, plant as deep as you can this will really help them, top or train is up to you(i say topping will induce new growth)... These are totally save able if treated good from now on...

More space for roots = better plants...

 

[Guest]

What about taking cuttings from them and vegging again, this time with better lighting? I dont see why the cuttings wouldnt respond well, just take a few weeks to root them again thats all.....

 

[Guest]

Harry, if I were you I'd take Growdoc's advice. Repot them in deep pots, burying as much stem as possible. It'll solve your problem and you plants if given enough light might have a couple of stretchy nodes at the bottom, but the rest will grow normally

Take them to 10 downing street and present them as the reason hemp should be legal, ready to use string... :smile:
I've had similar bro, in fact that thread i've finally started now about my GN maysteries nearly had a similar problem and I had to bury all seedlings very deeply, to be honest it may have even done them some good, lol, rooting like crazy and perfect node space under the lights now. Personally, i'd bury em deeper, but there's no reason why not to chop em/clone em.
Peace my friend
Noddy

Edit: On a side note, remember that if you're planting them deeper in soil to make up for the stretch then to make sure you only keep them lightly moistened until settled, too much moisture in the soil will rot those stems faster than the movement of a nun's first curry...

Almost pissed myself laughing when I seen that mate, hahahahaha


Im gonna be taking a cutting off of em all I think.................and start again from the cuttings!

thanks for the advice everybody......ll take the cuts, and then do the re-potting(which was gonna be this week anyway!) and try burying them a little....Ill use some biopak in the watering to stimulate em a bit and that should help em strikle under the new ground level....
so, to any1 who was thinking of moving plants sumwhere where theyll be surrounded by much bigger ones......DONT..... I dont know what I was thinking really I dont.....Its a basic fact of nature that a plant will try to even itself up to the height of its surroundings to compete for light! Im gonna fire the 250W Halide again to add a bit in there...plus the mixed spectrum would be better right!

A mistake is only a mistake if we fail to learn from it and anyone who watches 'The Joy of Painting' (for any reason) will know that we dont make mistakes, we have happy accidents :smile:
I'm sure the clones will fire on all cylinders Harry. Best o' luck to yaself and the young ones.

Joy of painting....is that the guy with the afro haif and a beard.....man, hes just toooo nice, one of those people who are so diplomatic u just want to see them lose their rag and blow a gasket just to see what it looks like, lol.
U know i have learnt from thbis....most of all LISTEN TO UR INSTINCTS!!! I had a rfeeling that i was setting myself up for a fall there, but I went ahead thinking it wouldbe ok! So listen to the little voice, it can be useful!

Harry, take those supports away from your plants, let them fall over if they want to, it encourages thicker stems, but if you keep supporting them, they'll only ever grow weak stems.

Try telling that to ma sour bubbles, lol....ill root a pic out for u. and the big towellys treasure, had a stick like that all the way thru, ended up about 2 and a half inches.... its not there to support em, its to stop em bemnding around and encourage them to grow straight! Not to actually hold them up!
Be lucky

 

[GMT]

Fair enough mate, I haven't got a fan on my little ones directly and tend to plant them fairly shallow to begin with so the sides of the pot shield them a bit anyway, so that's not a prob in Nania. Here's a little pic of my lazy littlens, they'll stand up when it's time
