First time grower, concerned about plants thinning.

Edenganjstarted grow question 4 years ago

This is my first grow, I will be switching these girls to t5 tomorrow. Should I be concerned by their height? They will also be going outside into a greenhouse after 2 weeks inside.

You'll get stretch with cfls unless there within a couple inches of the plant. Useful light range with t5 is a little better but they can still be pulled in pretty close unless it's a pretty hot 12 bulb setup.

They are stretching, but you’re changing the light so they should be fine. If they fall over in the meantime you can bury the stem further to stand them up ☺️

Growing to fast?Is there such a thing as the plant growing too fast? It has quadrupled its height in as many days causing it to sort of flop to the side. The leaves are getting bigger but nowhere near the rate that it's growing taller. Is this normal for strawberry cough? #newtothis

How to fix leggy plants?Hello all! I received 4 plants that were about 2-3 ft tall and top heavy. They are growing denser now, and I started topping them off to maintain the height. Currently they are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I supported the skinny bases with wood stakes and ties, but they grew mold :(
