carneiromariana13started grow question 5y 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.

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.

Mold on stem (outdoor)Hello guys!
One plant of a friends outdoor grow is looking not so good. On two stems there are spaces without bark, and on one spot is even some mold.
Almost looks like someone removed it with a knife.
Any diagnosis, tips or other help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

She's getting too tall!2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart
