Stretchy plants
TrialAndErrorGrowsstarted grow question 4 years ago
Any advice on how to prevent excessive stretch in the first few weeks of bloom. I would like the nodes to be closer together for nicer top colas.

Just have the right environment. Growth is slower during the day and they stretch more at night. If they're stretching too much, there's probably added growth during the day which points to the lighting being too weak. Make sure you're at the right height.
Your internodal spacing doesn't look bad though.

3500k colour spectrums will give you tighter node spacing instead of a 3k. I also heard that adding extra silica to the mix reduces node spacing a little. But looking at your pic I say that looks good. They will fill in as the buds grow.

White Widow Stuck on Second NodeWhite Widow Fem from Seedsman not growing anymore tops after the second node? The two fan leaves on the second node look like they are not branching off and are stuck together and there is no more growth coming from the top of the stem. Fairly new grower but never seen this.

Short plants ok?Plants are really short and stubby with a little canoeing. Are my lights to close? Right now at 21” away. I have good circulation and intake/exhaust fans. Do you see any issues I should address? It’s hard to LST with so many fan leaves in the wayWeek 3

Size of Auto at end of Week 3I 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?

Re- pot during 1st week of flowerHi Grow Gurus,
My fabric pots just came in today.
Im 1 week into flowering and thinking of transferring from a smaller plastic pot into a bigger fabric pot. Sorry for the dumb question!
Will I kill the plant if I re-pot during early stages of flowering?
Hope y’all can helpWeek 5

Nodes Spacing and AutoflowersI'm wondering the following; I don't want tall lanky plants, but I also don't want to hurt my yeild by having the nodes too tight to where they can't grow right.
So, the question is: Is it possible for nodes to be too tightly packed?
I'd prefer the scientific reasons if possible.Week 2

Assymetrical stem growthHey, does anyone know what is this a sign of? It's the second plant I grow that starts growing like this at some point. One node below is symmetrical, new node is unsymmetrical. Is it from the heat stress? Or from the stretching to reach the light? Stress or not?
