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.

Floodlight for bloom supplementI have read that my vipar is not the very best for bloom. I want to encourage and support the flowering with my philips 50w 4000k floodlight, what do you think, will this make a worthy difference? (Until I get a new all arounder light)Week 4

LIGHT SPECTRUM, is that a good one for growing cannabis?Hi guys,
in the future I plan to upgrade from the current 2x2 box/150w LED.
I was thinking of a 4x4 area with 500w LED.
I came across an interesting 500w led lamp for quality/price and this is the spectrum chart, does it seem suitable for growing cannabis?Setup. Lighting

Light: much Power less hoursHi everyone,
I'd want to decrease the hours of light to give the plants the impression that winter is coming, but I'd want to add a led to increase the power of the light. Can I apply both this ideas?
Thank for your attentionWeek 6

Wrong light scheduleScrewed up light timing.
Thought I was on an 18/6 schedule in my tent but apparently it was 12/12 from weeks 3-7. It’s close to needing to be switched over to flowering size wise. I switched over properly to 18/6 two days ago and plan to keep it there for an extra week. Yes?Week 7

2 plants, 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000’s, need help with pot size/tent size configurationMy plan is to flower these 2 girls in a SCROG under 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000s (2x300W actual). I’m debating whether to flower them in 5 gallon plastic pots in a 2x4, 10 gallon pots in a 2x4, or 10 gallon pots in a 4x4. Does more area = more yield, or am I thinking about this wrong?Week 5
