It looks like it is stretching. I would give it more light or lower your light closer to the plant.

Stretching is usually an indication of inadequate light strength.

Light height and intensityHello all. Recently I upgraded my lights to 2 mars tsw 2000. I've noticed my plants are growing slowly compared to everyone else's. I have it set at 24 inches 25%. However a mars hydro admin posted 12 inches 75% during veg? Isn't that like 1500 ppfd? I'm so confused.Setup. Lighting

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LEDSanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !Week 11

LUX meter grow questionCan someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them.
My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light alreadyWeek 7

Different lightsHello people, hope you all doing fine.
So, I have 3 different light models, I´ve been using them individually for plants.
I use only autos and adjust the light distance individually.
Should I place all the lights in the roof togheter so all plants get the same amount of light?Setup. Lighting

How much light for a stunned seedling?If my seedling is stunned, how much light in watts should I give to her? Does it make sense to give minimum light to help recover after over-feeding? (in my case 11w all spectrum bulb).
I mean to help her to focus on recovery, not on reserving energyPlant. Too short

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent.
Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.Setup. Lighting
