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 👊👌👍

Hello everybody, I actually don't know how to add pictures to an already made questions. So I'm asking a new one. This is the plants after 18 days. I guess the color is right and the plants are healthy. I'm not sure if the size is right at this point of the growth.

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

Can you save an Autoflower that is too small for it's age?
Hey, I've asked a question about my Fat Banana Auto being too small. Is there even point in trying to save this one? It's around 3 weeks old. Started the recommended -6 hour direct sunlight method today. Kept it in a semi-shade under a tree before. Under window if bad weather.

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.

Size of Auto at end of Week 3
I know genetics is a big factor, but these are suppose to be Sativa dominant 70/30, and they seem to be so short, even the LST sprouts are only a couple inches. When do autos typically take-off and produce some distance between nodes or are these stunted?

Pull a plant to maximize the others?
Growing SSH in a 2x2x5 tent with 4 plants wasnt a great idea to start. Doing SOG method. 1 of 4 is really small n budding schedule is behind but she is budding. Should I pull her to maximize the others? Tent is tight n need my humidifier in the tent. Not sure wht to do. Thoughts?

My auto seedlings are short, is the light too close or is it the temperature?
So I’m running the spider farmer SF 2000 LED. great in the summer as it puts off very little heat. Winter time here in Seattle now and my wife won’t let me turn the heat up to past 70. My seedlings are in great soil with domes, but think the temp is stunting them. Suggestions?

Genetics or pot size?
Day 30. I have multiple firsts here for me, making it really fun and really odd. At day 30 I’m use to a way larger pot but in 5 gallon. Does a larger container effect early growth? These are healthy and loaded with stems ready to be buds. Or is it the genetics?

Low plant LST - possibly stunted
Does anyone have any opinions regarding the LST being that low? PAR is around 635 with a DLI of 46 at the tallest cola. pH is quite constant between 6.2-6.5 with very little nutrients given so far.
