They are stretching a bit. Can use a toothpick or the like to keep them from falling over. I see you have a 1000w LED which light exactly? They would need around 280watts of light and you can use your phone with a lux app to set the light distance to where the plants are getting 12000lux.

GDub51answered grow question 4 years ago

All say that when they "stretch" like this the light is too far away and they are stretching to reach it. Yet I germinate outdoors and see the same thing. Lowering the light will help (or raise the seedlings) and prop the weak looking ones with a toothpick and a twist tie to brace until it matures. NO don't re-pot yet! Leave until they have a couple of sets of true leaves at least B4 transplanting. I only transplant once, starting in large Jiffy cups then into 15gal. final containers. I'm outdoor so the large containers, indoor usually smaller.

You could try repotting and bury the stem, but they probably dont have much roots developed yet. You may want to just support them for another week and then swap and bury them deeper. And then of course get a light closer to them..either add a cfl 4 inches away, or some other method of increasing the light.

When your ready to transplant them just bury them deeper root will begin to grow from any part of the stem that gets buried.. stretch sucks but can be fixed! 👊

I would support them with something and move the light down some. They’re stretching towards the light.

Plants too tall in back row.The plant's in the back row are too tall. We cut the tops of the trellis boxes off about 18 inches. Even with LST I still think they're too tall. With the plants in pre-flowering (10 days) should we cut the top of the plants off or is this a bad choice? What do you recommend?

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)
