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.

Too hot?
Worried that these are not growing too fast. Do they look OK? Does it look like these plants are getting too much heat outside? Temps have been in the 90's but they don't seem to be reacting poorly

Will this be ok?
My plant is 3 days old and is already 100mm (4 inch) tall. I started this with a plant already in my tent so its a fair distance from the light. Should i keep it going or just start over when the other plant is finished?

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.

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?

sehr unterschiedliches Wachstum
Die Rechte hört nicht auf in die Höhe zu wachsen mehrere Zentimeter täglich! Sie ist mittlerweile über 70 Zentimeter hoch und langsam kann ich die Lampe nicht mehr höher hängen. Die Linke hingegen wächst fast garnicht mehr und sieht auch etwas traurig aus. Beide gleich alt. Help

While watering this week I noticed a fair amount of roots surfacing in all of my plants (pic in week 6 of veg). Is this is a result of healthy rooting or signs of an issue? Leave exposed or cover em up? Inclined to leave as is for oxygen.

Can moving tent upstairs shock plants 14 wks.
Can plants go into shock if I move my tent upstairs in air conditioning, currently in basement room. I had to get 12" extension and after removing drop ceiling I still will need to cut 1.5" off the extension bars or move entire tent upstairs.

Plant coming too much close to the light (?)
I think Gon is coming too much close to the light. I have little to no more space to raise the TS1000 and it’s already at 30 cm distance. Anyone has any advice of what should I do? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Autos queries
Hi guys, have a question for all of you, I have so many tiny branches (one of the pic shows you exactly what I mean), shall I leave them or cut them all? I can cut them at this stage of flowering? Also, I bought Bloombastic by Atami, shall I give it now? Or when (in Autos)? Thx

When to harvest?
I’m not sure when to harvest? The buds don’t seems to be getting any bigger. It’s my first grow. I’m starting to get yellowing leaves at the bottom of my plants, the buds are getting frost, but under a microscope the trichomes are all clear there’s no trace of orange.
Buds. Not fattening

New ones are too tall and thin.
Any ideas why the new one (Sapphire Scout and Mysterious Strain) are so tall and thin? What should I do to prevent them collapsing again?

Plant taller than it should be by 3ft
I 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'.
