It's not getting enough light. Bury the stem up to the cotyledons (it will root) that will help make it more stable and increase its root mass. Are you growing on a windowsill?

Possibly trying to find more light and not enough wind to create a thicker stem?

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚
Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Stretched?
First time grower here. My plan was to keep these on my windowsill for 2 weeks before I move them outside for my outdoor grow. With them starting to look leggy, should I stick to the plan, or move them out early?Weather is currently cool 14c with intermittent sun.

Hello friends Have you ever had plants that were too tall? I can't hang my 450w LED any higher. Should I leave it like this or tie it down? The plant doesn't seem stressed but is very stiff for tying down. 1.70m tall, week 6.5

1st morning after light recommendations
Hello, after the answers and the help from fellow growmies i put the sprouts in the greenhouse for light. One of them grows so rapidly. Do you think theres a reason one of them grows so much faster?

They are too big and I have not so much space remaining, what should I do ?
68 cm already and only 25cm of height available (with the actual scrog), I just flipped to 12/12. Should I keep on scrogging or top all the heads ? I don't really know where to top as I removed some of the bigger leaves on one side. Thx !

Any advice for a newbie?
Hi all, Just finished week 4 and I feel they are a little behind for a plant know for it’s quick turn around. Would this matter that I have had the light high until week 3? Not sure if I have ruined there chances? Confidence is a little low at the moment. TIA

Weak Stem
I watered today with my sprayer & one of my plants fell over, is this damping off or am I supposed to prop it up somehow? The other ones are fine.

How do I stop stretching?
I have a 1000W dimable grow light and a 36" tall tent. How bright and how tall should I set the light to stop the stretching? I added the support and more soil today to stabilize.

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?
Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?

Plants too tall in back row.
The plant's in the back row are too tall. We cut the tops of the trellis boxes off about 18 inches. Even with LST I still think they're too tall. With the plants in pre-flowering (10 days) should we cut the top of the plants off or is this a bad choice? What do you recommend?

Hi dear growers, I have a little problem. So I have a Lemon Wonder Auto that germinated on February 24th, then grew normally for 6 weeks, took a break, and started growing again three weeks ago, and now it's going into flowering. My lady is now almost 16 weeks old.

Hello, My plant started going to produce flowers, few days ago. But one thing is strange to me. She is a quick one of royalqueenseeds and under a cfl 200w dual. Why are these branches so long?? Do i need a bloom only light ?

How long into the flowering phase do plants stop stretching?
Title says it all! This plant is already so much taller than either of the plants I grew the first time around. I still have some room in my tent to accommodate a little bit more height - just not THAT much more. Which week of flower will do plants typically stop stretching?
