If all is going well you could try and make it stretch for light or change spectrum provided. Hope this helps

Your light could be too close, your temps could be way too high,, you could be feeding too many nutrients high in P and K, or it could be stress induced from training. All of these things can reduce internodal distance.

You can adjust your LST and remove minimal leaves to open it up.

Height of plant
All 3 of my plants are different sizes. Next time I’m only gonna grow one strain at a time unless there’s a way to speed up the growth of the other two. I have a yellow spectrum light I was using for veg that I can put on the left of my grow tent & then put the flowering light?

Size of Auto at end of Week 3
I know genetics is a big factor, but these are suppose to be Sativa dominant 70/30, and they seem to be so short, even the LST sprouts are only a couple inches. When do autos typically take-off and produce some distance between nodes or are these stunted?

Structure question: worth growing out?
PSA: don't interfere with leggy seedlings. You'll only do more harm than good. I tampered with these as I would leggy tomatoes. The stems have broken surface end of week 4 and I'm worried they're not going to hold any late weight.. Should I just scrap this run? I have beans 😅

You are a SATIVA North Shore Maui! You grow tall like the sky! Strong like mountain! You are not descended from short plant!
Currently overthinking this plant's development. Pep talk not working. It is a sativa but the shortest plant in my garden. Maybe just needs a trim? The yellow is a concern too. I haven't dealt with a plant this bushy before so not sure if it needs help or not.

Plants very bushy / too short (?) 5w from seed; 35cm from (600W) LED lamp
I'll put my question here as well for better visibility; Plants are very bushy and I'm not sure if I should prune subbranches or let them grow that way. I'm a little worried they'll lack space when they'll start flowering. It might be suboptimal as well. Thanks for helping me !

Should I switch to Flower
I am getting ready to flip to flower. She just doesnt seem to be growing any taller in Veg right now and not sure why. Most people say their plant grows 2-4 inches per week and mine just seems to limp along. Does anyone have ideas? Should I wait to switch to Flower?

Is she small? Or normal
Maybe overthinking but is she small for the 10 days shes been above ground? On my first grow before this one, I remember seedlings being very tall/stretchy, I used a propagator then transplanted to pot, they ended up being 1.4M Tall (Northern Lights).

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚
Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Why is my girl so bushy and how to make her stretch? Thanks!
Hi guys, so she's 29 days old. I feel like light and air can't get in, she's covering her new growth with her big fat fan leaves. I don't think it has to do with distance to the light because I tried being 40cm above and now 75cm, she just keeps growing wider, DLI 25 ~ 15k LUX 😽

How tall should seedlings be to be considered healthy and good?
How tall should seedlings be to be considered healthy and good? One of my plants (#1) did not stretch much during first week and I'm afraid this could impact on her growth on veg stage.
