started grow question 6y ago
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

Exactly what you should have done. It'll eventually grow roots when deprived of light and exposed to moisture over time.

Good move. You can keep that cfl bulb 2-3 inches away.

Hey guys! It's really fun to be back again, this is my second grow. I'm kinda desperate for answers now, because the roots have started to come out of the bottom of the Airpots, as you can see on a picture I uploaded. Is this going to cause root problems? any overall opinion?thx

Stretch to the light
How can you tell if your light is to close or to far? Is this gal stretching to much? Should I have increased the dimmer and/or lowered the light earlier?

Are these too tall?
Hey all! Was wondering if these are too tall and if so, what can I do. Sprouted 4/15. Followed light company’s recommendations on distance and brightness to a T. Using 2 Viparspectra 1000W LEDs in a 4x4x7 tent.

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.

Thin Elongated Bud Stems
Can anyone tell me why the bud sites have grown these elongated thin stems on one plant and not the other? Also noticed it has much less foliage. Maybe it's down to the main stem snap in week 3/4?

Seedling stretching
Is it normal for a seedling to stretch closer to the light than the other 3 seeds and have stunted growth? All 4 have equal light and run on a RDWC getting equal nutes.

Twisting, yellowish, drooping leaves
Soil: Nectar of the Gods (4shot) Nutes: Nectar of the gods (exact on my page) I'm almost positive I've been overwatering but what do I do now lol? How do I get my plants to perk up? Do I wait it out? I've also brought my light down 2 and a half feet due to stretching.

Wtf happened?
Wondering if anyone can help me understand why one plant grew out so stretched and with unformed buds while the other from same seed packet appears normal. Is this just a weird pheno? The strain (NLTxGelato) is a new one so I'm not sure how stable the genetics are.

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)

LST during flowering?
is it OK to keep bending her main stem over during flower? It wouldn't be a big deal but I am running out of room to keep raising the light. She a good 4 inches above the rest. See Day 34 pic

Plant too big for growbox
Long story short, I overshot my container size, and now I have plant that is outgrowing my box. I cannot move it, so the only options are to manage the growth or kill it. Any tips that would help me keep the size down and bring this plant to successful harvest would be great.

Will she be ok
1 and a half weeks into flower this thing is so big it's scary! I don't know what to expect from the stretch. With training though do you guys think she'll be fine?
