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.

Should I lift my lights?I've been slowly lowering them as the plant grows, now I'm starting to get nodes but they're pretty close together (see grow question image)
Wondering if I should lift the lights to encourage stretching or leave them alone
General health check would be awesome too 😄

What's up with this berry...? Still light green.. 2nd question as no improvement since lastHi everyone ! I've got an ongoing issue with BlackBerry from fastbuds. Since sprouting all new leaves are light green, from stem to top, tips seem to be better. As she grows older leaves get greener. Any ideas what's happening with her? Grows slow. Week 3

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.

Is she small? Or normalMaybe 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).

Will fast growers produce well?Will fast growing plants that produce long stems actually fill in during flower? Brain Damage has grown tall fast and went into flower quickly. There is so much space between I am not sure what I should expect for flowering. Any ideas from grows you have had?

Grew too fast?I know each plant grows differently but, did I do something wrong while growing? She has so much space between nodes and doesn't look like she will produce well. She grew fast and is unstoppable. I just want to make sure that it was not something I did to cause so much stem.

Cloning Tops?I want to clone all 6 of my plants using the tops because I am phenohunting. I am mainlining so I was planning on topping down to the third node after 5 nodes have grown . I tried raising my light to 36 inches and dimming it but my internodal distance is too short. What can I do?
