Plants are not getting bushy/transplanting

[TreeBert]

hey yall first time grower so as you know I have run into many problems that im sure most first timers run into. My first problem is that they seem to just be getting very tall:hairpull: ? from knowing a thing or two about plants I would assume that this is because lack of direct sunlight and this is the plants way on acheiving more sun.. Unfortunatly that this spot really is my only choice and I can only visit the ladies at certain hours, and it just so happens to be the hours that the plant is getting thriving sunshine. So im guessing that during some hours the sunlight is poor? Would there be any other reason for the plants to be stretching like that? and whats the difference between a tall plant vs. a bushy plant? I figure i will get a less of a yield but will it be a huge difference? sorry for the long post. thanks a lot

Tough one, what strain are you growing, is it stretching badly? The bush verse tall plant question is hard to answer IMO it depends on the strain a lot too.

how old is the plant? how tall? you may wanna look into lst (low stress training).

Sativa = Tall plants
Indica = Bushy plants
Sativa dominant (more then or equal to 60% sativa) = Tall and a bit more bushier then usually pure sativa strains
Indica dominant (more then or equal to 60% indica) = Usually shorter and a bit less bushier then usually pure indica strains

Generally plants grown outside grow longer then plants inside because they usually have more time to grow. This is arguable however because it's heavily Dependant on the strain itself.

You can make/force plants to grow longer from depriving them of light (NOT sunlight / Artificial light). This technic is called stretching a plant.

Last but not least it's not a bad thing to have a tall plant outside so far as no one can see it, If your afraid or judge that the plant is in the shadows to much then just clear our the tree's around the plants to give them more sun. Be aware though that stretching a plant cannot be done outside and thus this is most likely simply natural and a good thing.

Hope this helps, enjoy and have fun.

search supercropping, that'll slow it down/branch it out. As mentioned above, may just be the strain.
