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.

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Can I let them grow like this?Hi,
my grow tent is getting a little bit small.
do you guys think I can let them roll like this? is this still okayish environment?
The alternative would be to take one out and let the other grow in peace…
Thanks for helping!

Good timing or terrible decision?Hey everyone,
my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it.
Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant?
It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?
