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?

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.

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?
Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?
This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

How do I backfill my plant?
Is there a right or wrong way to bury the stem on my Auto? I had an issue with stretching and wanted to wait til she was a bit bigger before I tried. Can I still do it now and what's the best way to do it? Cheers
