Research LST and try it out. Will train your plant to grow flat and wide rather than tall. 🌱👍

Problem, long girls
Hi Guys! What is the better for me? If this round go to the trash and starting a new round? Other option is : the little girls get a new light and they will be healthy and strong girls? Ghs- Super Lemon Haze. Thank you!

Too much stretch?
I’m 4 days into week 5, which is week 2 of flowering. My RQS fat banana autos are 40-50cms in height. That’s too much right? That stretch could make for a poor yield. Should I be worried and, if so, how do I slow the stretch? Indoor, hps, 18/6, 26* high, 16* low, 50% RH.

Was this the right thing to do
They look quite small in height but I had to bury the girls up to there neck a few times because they were really leggy and tall , I had the cfl bulbs like 30 inches away then realised they were not anywhere close enough to the bulb

BEHEMOTH outgrowing DIY Space
My autoflower has become a BEHEMOTH. It is now over 34" at 37 days?? DIY space only 2x3 floor and 7 feet high. Is this normal? It's a race to keep the light 8+ inches away. Not a heat issue (GREAT LIGHT) but concerned that this may not be growing correctly.

Plant stakes for heavy branches???
Do you add structural support to branches before they form buds? People have warned me to add structure to my plant ASAP. I don't see a lot of photos of plants with stakes. My plant is really tall & I didn't train it because I was scared to break it & horizontal space limited.

Light spectrum and stress
By switching between LED spectrum: Would the plants stress out ? The veg spectrum only was producing too much stretch due to lamp being not close, imo. So started using both spectrum and the light intensity is way higher now. Also they get some sun light due to tent position.

Too late to train?
Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

How much more she can stretch? Liberty haze
Hello everyone. Exactly 2 weeks ago I switched lights to 12/12, I found 1st preflowers yesterday. My question is how much more she can stretch yet? She doubled her size in 1 week, I got like 30cm left for my light. What to do if she won't stop stretching? Can I still supercrop?

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.

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower 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?

Plant too tall
This plant is twice the height of the others. I’ve tried to give it less light to slow it down. Afraid to bend it and pull on it. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Getting leggy?
Is Thursday 4/16 stalk too leggy? Should I already repot so that it's deeper, covering more stalk under soil?

Micro growing?
How to keep things short? Very limited height. Tried "Short" photoperiod strains, small containers, short veg time, close as possible to availible lights. Going to try everything stated but also topping several times without recovery time?! Any suggestions?

stretchy seedling
Hi i’m growing next to a window with approximately 10 hours of light + 4 hours of light from a 4W led bulb. The plant is kind of stretchy, not falling over but I added a stick for safety just in case. Is it healthy? Will it be normal and recover? I’m worried a lot. What to do?
