Duke vs. RBF
Had to stake / trellis the Duke and prune some of the lower colas - just way too stretchy and hollow this early. Although, they seem to be beefing up as stretch ends. RBF is already starting to puff-ball.
When they get this tall, I typically LST-spiral them around the trellis and then HST and support off the stakes if need be. That way, I can still rotate / remove them from the tent if I have to.
Picked up an extra AC Infinity tent fan (but probably should've gotten four). Keeping the blown COB over the Duke for the rest of the grow.
Next grow(s), I should probably try intentionally reducing lighting / nitrogen during stretch to see if they stay shorter - I may prefer that over the extra yield. If/when I replace the light, leaning towards Migro Aray , Atreum Hydra, or HLP Rspec - but, I already blew this grow budget on side projects.
RBF is looking like a GD monster, though - diameter of main stalk is twice that of Duke.
Deadite vs. Lecter
Doing well and starting to stretch. Pics I've seen make these look tall and sparse to begin with, so I reduced N and lighting hrs a bit since my plants tend to be stretchier than most. Progress-wise, they still look like normal 90-day plants. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next month.
