Would suck if you have to chop those huge colas off. I would try to give the LST away from the light if possible. Either way looking good, this is an auto-flower? what hours is it on? they should stop stretching their third week in flower?

If your plant is not showing bloom signs, then chop it, it's not blooming. If your plant is blooming, even if little tiny white hairs, then LST and bend the main stem so it's the desired height. Keep on the great care! Happy smokes!

Should the first tiny node be removed?Hi guys! So this is a fb auto day 22. I was not planning to stress train her in any way. Could you please advise is this first node should be removed or kept? It looks unusually small to me and I wanted to remove it but I've never removed anything so early. Thank you, growmies!

Hey guys! It's really fun to be back again, this is my second grow. I'm kinda desperate for answers now, because the roots have started to come out of the bottom of the Airpots, as you can see on a picture I uploaded. Is this going to cause root problems? any overall opinion?thx

Long and Spindly girl Bubbles is stretching quite far. Long and spindly. This isn't good as she can't hold her head up anymore. I've lowered the grow light and also have the light going 19 on and 5 off for the grow day. What can I do to help her out at this point?

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

Feedback on my miainline?This is my first mainline so I am looking for any feedback/suggestions on how it looks so far and what type of yield to potentially expect? 1 week into flower. Does it look too tall or stretched?

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?

First time grower, concerned about plants thinning.This is my first grow, I will be switching these girls to t5 tomorrow. Should I be concerned by their height? They will also be going outside into a greenhouse after 2 weeks inside.

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.
