I turned to 12 hours at average plant height of 30 - 40 cm ,
and they just didn’t stop until 7 foot !!! I needed to do much
pruning to maintain a reasonable height, and yet they still kept stretching.
Fast initial bud set, but then weeks 4 - 6 did very little.. kinda just waiting.
Even the buddies once formed still kept growing up up up !!!
Very large long colas, quite a large output in end. (maybe 1 -1.5lb per 600 watt HPS)
VERY long maturation, I live in0.
.
... high humidity, so this has added a few weeks to overall period.
I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who grows in high humidity.
Pretty poor mould resistance, even with the stretched airy-ness of the buddies.
Only likes high lights levels, anywhere that received of lower than HIGH light did not mature well at all, high resin levels only within
1.5 feet of bulbs (which was terrible for my tall tall plants!!)
WAY too much stretching, would never do again indoors,
however it seems to do very well outside, in ground or in pots.
(watch poor mould resistance though)
Over all a disappointing grow experience, I don’t like mega tall sativas
and these are the tallest I have ever done inside.
I choose 2 phenotypes, 1st was tall vigorous growth, it gave good yield etc, but WAY WAY TOO TALL. The 2nd phenotype was much more compact, but had very poor yield and branching structure, and much slower grow.
Some hermie action, REALLY early in bud stress
The humidity in my area has slowed growth considerably, total maturation was between 10 - 12 weeks, very inconsistent ,. even on same plants. (one branch could be mature, and others were not etc)
I think with some practice this could be very high yielder & great for sativa heads, but not for high humidity areas.
Admittedly I am coming to terms with Coco's high moisture holding content, and did over water a little in first few weeks, maybe
they wouldn’t have stretched so much if this hadn’t happened
