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.

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?

Is it growing to fast?
Is she looking normal? I've never seen anything grow as fast. She's grown 2 inches in 3 days. Only using natural light to grow because it'll be moving outside when it's a bit bigger.

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.

1 week in veg no new leaves yet?
Is there anything else I can do to make the true leaves come out or do I just have to be patient? It is literally at the window silk at the moment. No lamps used. It only has the 2 true leaves from when it popped out of the ground last week.

Tall plants but leaves small
Hi guys. My first plants have almost 3 weeks. They have grown a lot in height, but the leaves are still very small. Is it normal for you? What could be the problem? Thanks 🙏🏻

How tall can grow Durban Posion in late flowering?
Hi, what do you think, how tall can this plant grow? It is 4th week of flowering, and she already stretched out two times in size after switching lights. The distance from light is 30cm. The light is 65W LED. Also, what do you think about bud fattening? More light needed?

Has the early stretch ruined my plant at the first hurdle?
Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?

Should the first tiny node be removed?
Hi guys! So this is a fb auto day 22. I was not planning to stress train her in any way. Could you please advise is this first node should be removed or kept? It looks unusually small to me and I wanted to remove it but I've never removed anything so early. Thank you, growmies!

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 !
