There's almost no info in the diary for me to go off of. How far is the light from the seedlings?

Move your light closer and they will stop stretching. Until they mature more, you can use just about anything to support them. Aim for 400 ppfd. Find your light on Amazon or another store and look at a ppfd map (looks like a grid with numbers in each square). This will tell you how far you should hang your light. Go up to 600 ppfd after week 2 usually-- when they are put of the seedling stage.

Top up cups to help support. When you transplant you can plant them with the stem in the substrate. 👍👍 From The 45th&47th President Of The United States Of America

I used a pencil as a stake with my seedlings for about 2-3 weeks. Lose fabric tie around the stem and pencil. They will be fine if you give them plenty of light. Maybe move them closer to the light

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?Plant. Too tall

This is my first time using the FloraNova series and I feel like it's doing a good job. Are the dark-stained roots normal for this series?
My roots couldn't look healthier overall now, but I still don't know if the off coloring is still from the root rot.Week 8

enlonged budsThe younger plant has developed flowers in an enlonged shape. The plant herself has grew a lot during her cycle (plant on the left day 72) and I can't understand the reason. Maybe some stress due to the hot temperature in the box during the veg (30ºC as peaks sometimes).Any idea?5 years ago

Any advice for a newbie?Hi all,
Just finished week 4 and I feel they are a little behind for a plant know for it’s quick turn around. Would this matter that I have had the light high until week 3? Not sure if I have ruined there chances? Confidence is a little low at the moment. TIAWeek 4

Let soil dry out too much or is it because they are stretching too much due to temp differences between nightWe noticed the leaves a very light green colour and some were drooping slightly. We suspected overwatering so let them dry out for a night which seems to have corrected the colour however worried that we let them dry out too much? One plant was totally blew over by the fan.
