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.

Invert light/dark during a grow
For veg period is better if I start with light on in the day, and off in the night, but for bloom period it will be too cold, can I invert light/dark during a grow? I will have light on in night and light off in the day.. does the plant have any problems if I do that?

Slight leaf tip "burn"
What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 1000

Set Up Tent
How should I set up my carbon filter, exhaust fan & air ducts? I’m in limited space right now but want to make sure I get good air circulation still. I set it up the wrong way the last time I had it up but it was already up so I just left it. Also, my fans. Where should they go ?

Luce rossa e blu insieme in vegetativa.
Secondo voi accendere led vegetativi luce blu, insieme alla luce rossa può fare male ai piantini. Oppure tenere tutte e due pulsanti della lampada accesi insieme non farà solo che bene alle piantine?

Bloom light on heat goes too high?
When turning on the bloom setting the temps seem to be getting up to 84 on the very top of my tent and around 80-82 by the bud sites. Is this too high? Is there any problem turning the bloom high power switch off to let it cool down for a half hour once or 2 a day if too hot?

Auto and regular plants in one box.
I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?

Different light for flowering stage?
Second time grower and first time blogger. Have yet to post yet but i'm getting prepared before receiving seeds in a couple of days. My question is, is it advisable to get a different watt light 4 the flowering stage? I have a Mars Hydro 300W light and a Q60 Homebox Ambient tent.

Short period grow
Hey fellow growers. So I have an odd question, Is it actually possible to start grow with 12/12 straight away? And how will it affect my plants? Let's say I have 3 autos and one photo. Will I have anything worth the time if I start straight with 12/12 light schedule? Thanks you

Heat, RH or overwatering? Or alltogether?
Hey my fellow growers! The grow reached 32Celsius the last 2 days in the last hour before going into night time. On that time RH goes down to 32% and this seems like it's stressing this lady a bit. Yesterday fed her nuts - maybe a bit too much? Thank you for stopping by!

will seedlings survive with just natural light?
At the moment I dont have a growing light and all the babies get is sunlight (about 15hours). Will this be enough? They are sitting at the window with a humidifier to keep them moistyyy.

Help! Timer problem.
My timer on 18-6 broke and i'm not sure if the girls had 24 hours for the past couple days... by putting them back into 18-6 will that trick them into flower? Hope not. Thanks :)

Should I dim my TS1000? Ts1000
When using two lights in a small space should I be worried about to much light? The plant is mature and is about to transition to flower, I’m just curious what is too much if any. The TS 1000 is dimmable the sf1000d is not. Lights are 18” at the moment

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.
