stretched 12 day- insufficient light
are plants very backward for 12d?Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small,it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds?Does it cause the yield to decrease?Or still have a chance to fix it?

Seedling stretching
Is it normal for a seedling to stretch closer to the light than the other 3 seeds and have stunted growth? All 4 have equal light and run on a RDWC getting equal nutes.

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)

Stretched?
First time grower here. My plan was to keep these on my windowsill for 2 weeks before I move them outside for my outdoor grow. With them starting to look leggy, should I stick to the plan, or move them out early?Weather is currently cool 14c with intermittent sun.

autos growing too tall?
First time grower, 5 plants (autos) just over 5 weeks from germination in greenhouse (50-60cm in height), wondering if they are growing too tall and if it is too late to either top or carry out some low stress training at this stage? Any other advice welcome. Thank you all

Thin Elongated Bud Stems
Can anyone tell me why the bud sites have grown these elongated thin stems on one plant and not the other? Also noticed it has much less foliage. Maybe it's down to the main stem snap in week 3/4?

BEHEMOTH outgrowing DIY Space
My autoflower has become a BEHEMOTH. It is now over 34" at 37 days?? DIY space only 2x3 floor and 7 feet high. Is this normal? It's a race to keep the light 8+ inches away. Not a heat issue (GREAT LIGHT) but concerned that this may not be growing correctly.

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?
One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?

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.
