Any advice for a newbie?

Butcheebudzstarted grow question 5 years ago

Hi all, Just finished week 4 and I feel they are a little behind for a plant know for it’s quick turn around. Would this matter that I have had the light high until week 3? Not sure if I have ruined there chances? Confidence is a little low at the moment. TIA

I'd advise by counting your eggs before they hatch 😳 backwards I know, but it's better to keep an open mind and read read read! I had a similar problem but not to that extent. It's my 1st time and I'll follow you too. In my case they stretched only I added more soil and made sure it was packed but not really packed, just enough to hold the main stem. Hang off the nutes for a couple feedings and Lower your lights a bit, read bro. Good luck 👍😁👊

It looks like your plants have suffered from lack of light that's what making them stretch. It also looks like you may have been over watering which also affects overall growth.

Ehh in week 4.. something is wrong bro.. that stretch is way to much. Check my diary for some autos I just started and are now on week 4. You could try to drop the lights and cross your fingers. 👊

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? Th Is this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

Hight Problems I’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants. My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

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?
