Yes and no, your light has specs to what distance is optimal for good growth. I say it's a little short but it will grow, raise your light to promote stretch 👊👌👍

Stunted plant - Leaves are blotchy and wrinkly - Problem identification My stunted plant is recovering i guess, looking better than a week ago and is growing bigger slowly, but the problem has to be identified so i don't make that mistake again. The leaves look as stated, light burn looks alike but i'm not sure since the other 3 had the same distance

Flowering no stretch I have 2 purple punch autos on their 4th week of life. They started flowering last week and have not started stretching yet. Maybe put on 1” this week. Should I be worried? It has been in the 90’s here. Water every other day. No nutes for them yet as they were potted in FFOF soil

Why is my plant so small? How can I promote growth?Hey my plant was germinated in a diy hydro -ponic germination dome, and usually the dome performs good but this time there was a lack of air in the water. This resulted in a oddly small plant, Any solutions to promote growth or something? I have transplanted to dirt for 1.5 week.

No stretch Concerned about this plant. No stretch whatsoever yet. Veg period has been longer than expected for a auto (7 weeks) which has probably been a god send. It’s throwing so many new shoots that the sun simply cannot reach them. Should I be defoliating or just wait?

Lopsided growth The vertical growth of this plant is a bit lopsided (left is shorter than right). If possible, what is the best method to help the left grow faster in order to catch up to the right branch?

Trying to grow up Hello fellow gardeners, This is my first Hydro grow. Seems to be going good, but I feel all plants are rather short. Am I supplying too much light so they don’t stretch out, or is something else going on? 4” tall after 4 weeks seems a bit short, but is growing plenty wide.

Started LST but now plants look a bit sick?I attempted to do LST but I think I've maybe started too early as some of the leafs started to wilt kinda bad afterwards. Was careful not to break anything. Edges are curling and have discolored. I have a feeling they're a bit short too? Photo from 5 days ago and today.
