Binjuuce76 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Thanks Everyone for the advice! It pains me to say it but I'm going to chop them Down and start again it just makes sense. It will give my auto's some more light and I'll be able to move in my tunnel again whilst I'm watering my tomatoes. They should still be big enough if I plant them now..

I was shocked at how big they grow and so quickly. it was a tough decision for me but it just made sense to start again, I don't need a big crop.

Asha605 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Mate just take cuttings of them! They’ll root in a couple of weeks and will grow and mature faster than a start from seeds now. Or do both! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also RATDOG you can help me, why do the plants go all saggy at night, is it cos the temp goes down? cos the soils moist, and when i come back in the morning they are all happy and stuck up again and my kumquat rebirth like jesus S Christ.

Or Is it too late once they start flowering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberowl Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Auto cuttings flower at the same time as the mother. @Hopsarecannabistoo plants droop at night because the stomata are closed (no photosynthesis happening in the dark) the plant is basically having a chill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and peeps are not sure why as it happens in a range of plants (tomatoes for example) and though presumably it confers a survival advantage on the plants which do it, it can't be essential as many do not. Known as nyctinasty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyctinasty and even occurs in some trees, though that has only relatively recently been shown as one needs laser scanners to be able to analyse a tree in sufficient detail to prove it. https://e360.yale.edu/digest/new_research_trees_sleep_silver_birch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to think he pulled it off in the end by ruthlessly trimming and training. I will have a look later to see if I can find the link for you. Is there any way you can use light deprivation on your tunnel? Ease up man I’m same Lat and now you’re making my seed trigger finger itchy. buy more seeds buy more seeds buy more seeds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
