I used peat pallets for Germination, which is really great way (tried first time).
2 days later after I put seed in wet pallet, I saw little "head" poped out. Checked next day and seedling was grown about 7-8 cm (2.7 inch) from peat pallet, with first set of true leaves.
I think that, cause of poor lightning (peat pallet was just on table in bedroom without any strong light source) seedling was trying to catch some light so this caused stretching, but that's not a problem.
I moved peat pallet to the final container and buried seedling deeply, about 10-11 cm (4.3 inch).
Applied a bit more water, cause water need to reach peat pallet also which I buried deeply.
@zaxar, people remove leaves or defoliate because usually the bigger top leaves are blocking the light penetrating to the buds. If you look at your plant from above you should be able to see if your leaves block something...
Hi mate, i was checking out your grow. She is a little small, i see you water 1liter daily? If that is correct you might be overwatering. For such a small lady its a little to much ✌️👊
