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.

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?

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.

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?

At week 11, 12-12 hours were taken. Flowering was 7-10 degrees in the first 4 weeks. It's 18-20 degrees right now. Will it continue to grow?

Beginners mistake: how best to navigate light stress issues for tall plant in a too small tent?
We have two autos in 5 gallon pots in a small 24"x24"x48" tent. One of our plants is inches away from the LED grow light and it's experiencing light stress for sure. What can we do to get these plants to harvest as best as possible? We are LSTing now.

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.

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.

Oh no! I didn't give them the proper light power and they stretched too much!
The girls are already in their final containers and they are only 1 week old. Any tips what should I do to fix this issue and avoid stressing them out while I do it? Perhaps I should just use a guide? Add more soil? (it's already near to the top tho) or should just ignore it?
