Shagrathanswered grow question 5 years ago
Hi!
You can dig the seedling deeper and bury up until cotyldeons are only above the ground and then lower your light a bit to avoid stretching.
When you bury the stem it will eventually grow full of roots1!

Drop your light and when you or if you transplant just put her down a bit deeper or pile up some soil around her! Hopefully this helps! Happy Growing! 👊

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks5 months ago

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?Buds. Not fattening

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?4 months ago

Can I let them grow like this?Hi,
my grow tent is getting a little bit small.
do you guys think I can let them roll like this? is this still okayish environment?
The alternative would be to take one out and let the other grow in peace…
Thanks for helping!Plant. Too tall

Good timing or terrible decision?Hey everyone,
my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it.
Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant?
It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?Plant. Too tall

Do you have a solution to stop the growth of stems?Apparently this would be due to a lack of light and stress because of the too high temperature.
I exposed them in a brighter place and I controlled the temperature to a maximum of 25/26°C.
It doesn't seem to stop...
How can I repair the damage? Is it too late?

Which plants to keep, when to switch to flower?How do I continue?
Guess I want to switch into flower within the next few days.
My idea is to give away #2 and keep the definetly female #3 and ScroG her.
Dont think I can grow 2 strains with such different sizes at the same time.
Opinions on switching 12/12 and only keeping #3?2 years ago
