Shagrathanswered grow question 5y 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! 👊

Flower Stretch and MainliningFlower 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?4y ago

Are these stretching? What should I do for the 2x top that barely sprouted?Viparspectra xs2000. Just moved it to a 25" distance and 50% light intensity hoping it'll help, but unsure if it'll burn them? What should I do?
Top 2x seeds JUST sprouted and are just barely above the soil. How to accommodate all plants regarding light intensity and distance?

Let soil dry out too much or is it because they are stretching too much due to temp differences between nightWe noticed the leaves a very light green colour and some were drooping slightly. We suspected overwatering so let them dry out for a night which seems to have corrected the colour however worried that we let them dry out too much? One plant was totally blew over by the fan. TIA

Plant taller than it should be by 3ftI 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'.Plant. Too tall

A tiny problem with size!So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)Week 8

Different sizes of plants : light power and distance to the plant choicesMy babies have different sizes from 25 to 16 cm. What is better ? : a strong light (Dimmed 60% of a 205 led) far away from the plants (46cm for the closer ones and 57cm for the smallest plants) or or a more moderate light (dimmed at 40%) but closer (from 35cm to 46cm) Thx so much

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 !

Long and Spindly girlBubbles is stretching quite far. Long and spindly. This isn't good as she can't hold her head up anymore. I've lowered the grow light and also have the light going 19 on and 5 off for the grow day. What can I do to help her out at this point?Plant. Too tall

Is it normal for my flowering plant to look so thin and stretchy??I kicked her into 12/12 schedule about 2 weeks ago. I’ve seen some pics of other plants about 2 wks into flowering and they look big n bushy as heck. Wondering if I’m doing anything wrong. Haven’t updated my diary yet but I plan to soon. Any help is appreciated

This is my first time using the FloraNova series and I feel like it's doing a good job. Are the dark-stained roots normal for this series?
My roots couldn't look healthier overall now, but I still don't know if the off coloring is still from the root rot.Week 8
