Your light is either too far away or not strong enough.

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?

First time grower, concerned about plants thinning.
This is my first grow, I will be switching these girls to t5 tomorrow. Should I be concerned by their height? They will also be going outside into a greenhouse after 2 weeks inside.

How tall can grow Durban Posion in late flowering?
Hi, what do you think, how tall can this plant grow? It is 4th week of flowering, and she already stretched out two times in size after switching lights. The distance from light is 30cm. The light is 65W LED. Also, what do you think about bud fattening? More light needed?

BEHEMOTH outgrowing DIY Space
My autoflower has become a BEHEMOTH. It is now over 34" at 37 days?? DIY space only 2x3 floor and 7 feet high. Is this normal? It's a race to keep the light 8+ inches away. Not a heat issue (GREAT LIGHT) but concerned that this may not be growing correctly.

Plant stakes for heavy branches???
Do you add structural support to branches before they form buds? People have warned me to add structure to my plant ASAP. I don't see a lot of photos of plants with stakes. My plant is really tall & I didn't train it because I was scared to break it & horizontal space limited.

stretchy seedling
Hi i’m growing next to a window with approximately 10 hours of light + 4 hours of light from a 4W led bulb. The plant is kind of stretchy, not falling over but I added a stick for safety just in case. Is it healthy? Will it be normal and recover? I’m worried a lot. What to do?

Too much stretch?
I’m 4 days into week 5, which is week 2 of flowering. My RQS fat banana autos are 40-50cms in height. That’s too much right? That stretch could make for a poor yield. Should I be worried and, if so, how do I slow the stretch? Indoor, hps, 18/6, 26* high, 16* low, 50% RH.

Suggestions? To tall?
First time trying SOG. Multiple plants turned male so not as much of a "sea" as I wanted. The ones that are left are extremely tall. It feels like they are to tall. Should I have kept the lights lower to stop them from stretching as much? Any other suggestions for SOG growth?

I have a bit of an unconventional question :D How stop stretch/grow and start flowering in autoflowers?
Is it possible stop the growth or is it possible to switch my autoflower with change photoperiod like a normal flower? I'm starting to worry that I won't fit in the tent. How much more can they grow? The height is now about 30cm. End of 4th week.

Has the early stretch ruined my plant at the first hurdle?
Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?

Plant taller than it should be by 3ft
I have been growing ILGM auto northern lights and they are growing far taller than they should. I plan to try 'topping' my current one (2 weeks old atm) but am wondering if this is the only solution. Ive made changes to my soil and a new light thinking it may be 'stretching'.
