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. Cheers,........ Organoman.

My Timer malfuntioned and gave them over 22 hrs of light?I was wondering why they kept growing this fast and big until i controlled the system and noticed they get to much light and stretching this hard. So i turned the hrs down to 16 to stress them into blooming, will this Work?

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?
Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)? I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!

Hi friends please advise me. I plan to go full LED on next run looking at spider farmer sf4000 lights are they the right lights to invest in and should I feel confident to invest in 6 of them as high end kit for my garden as they are more affordable than HLG 650r. Thanks friends.

HLG 550 V2 RSpec power/height in flower
I’m using an HLG 550 V2 RSpec in a 3x3 tent over one Universal Kush plant. Anyone have experience growing with this light in a similar setup? What’s the best height from plant and intensity level should I set the light to? Don’t want to stress her, just want ideal light levels.

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFF
it is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it. Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same. Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one. In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?
Hiya Folks 😊 As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting? It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent. My plant has just done 28 days from seed!! Cheers 😉

Light distance and when to top?
I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

Should one decrease light intensity during early flower?
Should one decrease light intensity during early flower, and then gradually increase again? I see DLI/PPFD recommendations for flowering in general, but not for the different stages of flowering.
