Oh no! I didn't give them the proper light power and they stretched too much!
BigBadLionstarted grow question 4 years ago
The girls are already in their final containers and they are only 1 week old. Any tips what should I do to fix this issue and avoid stressing them out while I do it?
Perhaps I should just use a guide? Add more soil? (it's already near to the top tho) or should just ignore it?

Looks like you didn't pack the soil all too good, judging by how it's sinking where you've watered. So you should be able to add more to the pot eventually.
- Topping them and adding fans will make them strengthen the stem, it's not the end of the world.. ^_^

You will be fine—- been there done that. If they flop, just support it. This has happened to me and it takes a week for the stem to strengthen.

When I had this situation I just put stakes on opposites sides of the container and connected them with thick string to support the stretched out plant and keep it upright. After a few weeks the stem grew thick and sturdy even though it looked comically long. Good luck!

What do you do if your plant is too close to a topped out light without disturbing shorter plants in the tent?My largest plant just started to flower and is already 9" from the light which is at the top of the tent. It's a 240 watt light board from AC Infinity. I have it set to 60% power. Should I leave it there or should I dial it down? No signs of stress yet. Other plants are shorter.

A tiny problem with size!So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)Week 8

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Las plántulas se estiran buscando luzTengo una lampara QB LED de 50W a 30 cm de altura, pero las plantulas de los laterales del cultivo se estiran buscando la luz
¿Acerco más la lampara? ¿Las botellas de agua están disminuyendo el PPFD?
Fabricante indica a 55 cm para esta fase

They are too big and I have not so much space remaining, what should I do ?68 cm already and only 25cm of height available (with the actual scrog), I just flipped to 12/12. Should I keep on scrogging or top all the heads ? I don't really know where to top as I removed some of the bigger leaves on one side. Thx !

Light distance and stem quality1. I’m not sure if the lamp is too close to the plant, it’s 8inch away. But it seems that plant like it. It’s only 200W and picture is added 2. When I’ll change the pot for bigger, can I dip the plant few more inches into the soil, I’m worried that the stem is too long and thinWeek 2

Plant still stretchingPlant still stretching before lights out & has grown another 10 cms in less than 24 hour's. I put the light to 50 cms as advised & dimmed the light from 60% to 50%. Very concerned I'll run out of space if she keeps growing like this. I only have 20 cms left to raise the light.
