I am really surprised it stayed that short. I don't think it stretched 10%. I think its still less than 24 inches tall from the soil line
Ive grown a couple of Indicas that hardly stretched if at all. had to veg them to the size I wanted them to be or they would not yield. My Green Shark and My Afghan Kush would both only gain a couple inches after put into flower.
Yeah i have had to veg some for ignorant amounts of times! 7 months for 2 zips has to hurt though! I like my girls with a moderate amount of stretch. I have a Fruity Pebbles OG x Wedding Cake that doubled in size after the flip. I was pretty unimpressed with her before the stretch. She is a lanky odd plant. I still do not know how I feel about her but I hope it turns out real nice! My first round of the Purple Punch S1 and the Slurricane stretched really nicely. The PP grew into the lights and I had to super crop her pretty hard. My 9# Hammer blows up after the flip as well. both that I have grown basically doubled in size. I was shocked. It won the High Times cup in Michigan last year for best Indica. I never expected it to stretch like it did.
Part of the problem of growing a strain that you know nothing of the genetics. I suspected it was very heavily indica influenced from beginning but I thought it might have some Sativa stretch lurking in there. I wanted to err on the side of caution with her. If I run her again, I would definitely do things a bit differently. I wanted to see how she grew out un topped and I am glad I did. I guess I just expected more stretch LOL! Or should I say some stretch, or ANY stretch!! Hell think of how good that main apical cola would have been if she stretched 6 inches!!
