Depending on strains and the type of lights like leds at full light will stunt the highs it only take a 25 wat to grow the first 3-4weeks

Hi guys. Considering the several problems of this grow, how I can change my setup for the next grows? Now I'm using Plagron Alga fertilizers and the Promix substrate (no fertilized). Do you suggest to set the lamp in bloom mode (more reds) also during the veg phase? Thanks, M

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).

Dwarfism?
Hi everyone,I suspect my mandarine auto is soffering of dwarfism due to the lack of light as is an outdoor and unfortunately that is all the light I can give her. Do you guys think I will have some more stretching out of her before flowering or it's going to be a fail?

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Plants are too small?? HELP??
I just started my first grow two weeks ago today and noticed they are a bit small compared to other grows and autos I have seen. I am currently feeding them: 2ml calmag, 2ml micro, 4 ml bloom and around 100ml per plant every 24 hours. Am I overfeeding, underfeeding? any ideas?

Height ok?
Early LST gave me a nice canopy but has really slowed upwards growth. Running a Mars ll 1200W with both switches on in 3x3 at 24" Was wondering any advice on gaining height? Other than patience lol :p

Induce stretch in a short plant.
After much research, I couldn't find anything on how to properly handle a really short plant. Does anyone have a thought about this? Or how to induce extra stretch? This is for documentation and research for this particular grow situation. Please see week 5 entries. Thanks all!

Very Small Small Growth
I'm having a bit concern about my plants here, they're 3 weeks old but growing very small (probably only 2-3cm tall), the weird thing is, they look very happy, and I don't see the plant having any problem at all beside that they are growing so small for a 3 Weeker.

Dark small leaves. Stopped growth
I've got problem with one of my plants (out of five). It's bit smaller than others. It's been going on for two weeks I'd say. Leaves are much smaller and darker than on other plants. Some of them clawing. New ones are not really growing. I'm watering when soil is soft.

Tiny plants (3rd week)
Hi guys, my question is related to the growth of my plants. They are almost 3 weeks old and I am worried that they are under developed in terms of size. Another thing that is starting to worrie me is the apparent growth of pistils in both of them.

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 😽
