Stretchy and pale stems - Heeeelp, am I losing my plant??

carneiromariana13started grow question 3 years ago

Hey guy, this is my second grow journey and my plant it's getting into the second week with +/- 3 inches and it's stretched with a pale stem. It's actually getting more sunlight and I'm using these stake to help it stand up straight.

She’s perfectly fine👍 She just stretched a bit from lack of light. But it’s no big deal at this point, just try and get a bit more light on her if you can so she doesn’t stretch anymore. The stake was the rite thing to do, just keep her up rite and get her some more light and all will be fine. Cheers💨

Needs more light in the 4000k range (strong blue) low light or light in a too red a spectrum (2700k) will cause this.

Light is the number one cause of stretching in seedlings, it needs more light. Happy growing.

Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.

Size matters??After one week the Cheese and the LSD got pretty fast to 3-4cm in height where as the big bang, which started developping its first node and the second one is still very short. This has to do with the pot size, the genetics or both?

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

While watering this week I noticed a fair amount of roots surfacing in all of my plants (pic in week 6 of veg). Is this is a result of healthy rooting or signs of an issue? Leave exposed or cover em up? Inclined to leave as is for oxygen.

This is my first time using the FloraNova series and I feel like it's doing a good job. Are the dark-stained roots normal for this series? My roots couldn't look healthier overall now, but I still don't know if the off coloring is still from the root rot.
