Slow growth

One of my plants has been having quite a slow growth, she's not really tall and her leaves are really dense together. Any ideas what I could do to help her grow taller?

By flipping through your dairy and those are my suggestions: 1. Your plant is doing fine. Any signs of pistil? Just give it a couple more weeks or give it a 24H dark cycle to initiate flowering if you want to. I see you have another plant that uses the same setting and is doing fine, so I feel you just got a slow runner and it will eventually catch up later. 3. But you want to control the "N" value in your nutrient. The "Alga Grow" that you are using is a grow booster that contains lots of N. I will gradually switch to Alga Boost which will promote flower growth. Be careful with the N toxicity and it will significantly reduce the production of your flower if you don't control. I had the same issue. 2. You will be expecting a 2-weeks stretch period when flipping to flower and the size of the plant usually doubled. So it is nice to maintain a low canopy as you did. I hope it helps!

Yeah, move the light further away and she will stretch, then some lst may help for the branches to extend further out.

Looks like it’s the type of plant. You can try tying the branches out from the plant to open it up, but likely it’s just the plants genetics. I have grown two sets of different autoflower seeds, and you will likely get at least two different varieties per pack.example, I’m growing purple kush auto at the moment, the plant is supposed to be small and purple, yet, I have only one purple one and two giant green ones growing. Because autos are genetically made, they always have desired traits that fall from the lineage line.
