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.

Does it look healthy?)
Does she look healthy? I just did FIM. She looks pretty fine for me, but leaves' colour is not even or uniform. Somewhere is dark green, and some is light. Old leaves have some yellow spots, but I guess it was water drops' burn I'm growing for fun btw, don't take so serious

First grow. Seedling difference. Should i be worried?
Two seeds were planted at the same time, but after 5 days i see a significant difference between them. The bigger one has stretched pretty fast, but the other one had an issue with dropping the cask & now is two times smaller and shorter than the first one. Should i be worried?

Should I defoliate?
Plant is 3 weeks old, doing tremendous in all aspects. The thing is she topped itself at the first node and is growing extremely short (about 7in) wide and bushy. Should I defoliate? I am planning on switching to flower in 2 more weeks.

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.

Stunted Autoflower
It is day 18 since sprouting on my Mephisto sour stomper, I was expecting more growth by now and it seems like it is growing very slowly. I have added no nutrients yet as I am in FFOF soil. Temps have been at 70-78 F, and humidity has been at 55% - 60%. 100w LED light at 50%.

Early flower and plant too small?
Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx? Royal Critical Auto - RQS

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).

One of my girls is a little stunted - what's wrong? (Wedding Cake Barney's Farm - feminized)
So as you can see one of my girls is looking a little stunted, and the leaves are kinda flakey. It's still making progress but way slower than the other 3, they are growing just fine. PH is alright, i didn't use too much nutrients, i think maybe i could have over watered it a bit

Are my plants short? Please I need help and advice. Thank you!
Hello everybody, this is my first grow so that's why i have so many doubts. One guy told me that my plants are short for being 6 weeks old. They are 6 weeks old since they started to germinate. Do you think they should be bigger? What do you think I did wrong? Thank you!

Is it normal for coco to go a kind of a light brown on top around the edge of the fabric pot? Do you think my seeds are where they should be for their age 7-8 days old? They dont seem to have grown much in last 2 days?

Not stretching
Using Viparspectra P2500. NL Auto not stretching turned lights down to 50% and raised them to 26"-28" . Should I just turned them up to 100% ? Manufacturers suggest that.

So my plant is about four days in flower and I thinks it’s a male it’s showing little balls like pollen sacs where the white hairs should be. It is early so I just want to make sure I’m not wrong

Guten Abend :) ich habe ein Frage bezüglich der Größe der Pflanze. Mein momentaner Grow befindet sich mitten in der Blütephase, jedoch sind die Pflanzen gerade mal ca. 25 cm hoch. Ist das normal bei Autoflowers? Oder werden die noch größer?
