New Grower Dutch Passions Auto BlueBerry

I have been growing these girls for right around 2 months now.I know they had some light burn cause I went through a serious week of depression.They bounced back qhuite well,it seems they just get taller and taller and there is not much improvement within the flowering.The PH is 6.3 and the RH is around 30-40 and the temps around 72-78 during the Light cycle.And never gets below 68 F in the evening.I am way new to indoor growing as a whole and I was curious if there is something within my means that I can do to help them along or if something looks a bit wonky?I see what I think is light stress but not sure.Thank you all kindly for any and all ideas.

hey dude :howdy: first of all i think your plants look healthy and green. from your photos i cant see any evidence of light burn/stress:thumbs: your plants do look a little stretched though, how big are those cfl's you're running? i think even at this stage your plants would greatly benefit from LST as you would be able to get more of the plant closer to the lights, just be careful and dont bend it too much too quickly:smokebuds:

View attachment 189002View attachment 189001View attachment 189000View attachment 188999I have each of them under a 125W CFL.I have an older pic Ill pop up.it got super tall and got close to the light.And I was sleeping all the time and the tips were really burn/stressed looking.And Thanks man,Im not super comfy with my set up,too hard to control RH and Temp since its not an enclosed space.I just would really like to be able to grow indoors,and will soon enough,I just dont have a handle on indoors yet.Hell outdoors for that matter as well.LOL!

the damage looks minimal to me, they seem to have recovered well. 250w of cfl should be fine to grow out 3 plants, is there any way you can reposition the lights so that all3 plants are under the two lights? (if you get what i mean)
your lights are lighting the whole cab ,if you had some way of getting the plants closer together and screening off half the cabinet ( maybe just a cheap sheet of hardboard covered with mylar or painted matt white) the light would be more concentrated .
tying down the tip of the plant, slowly, will let the lower buds access more light and fill out
hope some of this helps you:smokebuds:

Yeah that helps a lot my friend,Thanks.And no Im very limited on height and the pots are wide enough where I cant really get a good dispersion of the light.Ive been thinkin bout that too.So they look like they've come back alright eh?!KEWL!!Outdoors I know what Im looking at,indoors is another story.LOL!so try to tip down a couple inches for some LST.I thought ya had to do that earlier on?Cool,Ill give that a go tomm.Thanks for your help my man!:smokebuds:

Yeah the light on the Left is bout 6 inches from being maxed out in its height.The right has about 8-12" more of play.

:smokebuds: yeah the earlier you can LST the better, i often start before they sex. please, please do it very gently, at this stage the mainstem is gonna be less flexible. i would hate to have been the one to have told you to break your plants :no: best of luck bro

why not have a go at LSTing your new baby at about 3 weeks , you wont regret it

I think your stretching is because of distance to the light. I keep mine as close as I can with CFL's. You might get a little heat stress at the top but its better than having a stretched node spaced girl.:thumbs:

agreed. I like them within 2-10 inches max and group everybody together to share all available light as deuce recommended. they are looking fine just not getting enough light to flourish
