I’d lower the light till you can get a better one, and you need to bury some of that stem with more soil so less is above ground. Good luck 🌱

How long into the flowering phase do plants stop stretching?
Title says it all! This plant is already so much taller than either of the plants I grew the first time around. I still have some room in my tent to accommodate a little bit more height - just not THAT much more. Which week of flower will do plants typically stop stretching?

Ist das schon Spargeln?
Dear community, my little plants have started to germinate. I've given them 18 hours of light with about 60 ppfd. Are they already stretching or is the light optimal? I read something about 100 ppfd.

She's getting too tall!
2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart

A tiny problem with size!
So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)

Will she be ok
1 and a half weeks into flower this thing is so big it's scary! I don't know what to expect from the stretch. With training though do you guys think she'll be fine?

Plant stakes for heavy branches???
Do you add structural support to branches before they form buds? People have warned me to add structure to my plant ASAP. I don't see a lot of photos of plants with stakes. My plant is really tall & I didn't train it because I was scared to break it & horizontal space limited.
