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 🌱

I definitely over watered it a bit, but for it's height i think something else is off. its on a 22/2 cycle getting about 200 ml feeds every other day. I just hit week 5, what can i do to turn this around? train wreck autos from crop king seedsLeaves. Curl down

Plant too tall solutionI already know it's because it didn't had the light for around a week (I was away) and that I should repot it and burry it up to it's cotyledons. - I don't really want to do that, because it's 8L pot and the plant is really delicate.
Is it okay what I did?Week 4

How much more she can stretch? Liberty hazeHello everyone. Exactly 2 weeks ago I switched lights to 12/12, I found 1st preflowers yesterday. My question is how much more she can stretch yet? She doubled her size in 1 week, I got like 30cm left for my light. What to do if she won't stop stretching? Can I still supercrop?Week 8

To much stretch can I send her to flowerI've planted a feminized cream and cheese that outside began a bad stretch from poor sunlight. I moved inside put more dirt now again its top is to heavy. Can I start 12 and 12 sending it to flower before it's to big? Its 5 to 6 weeks in veg already.Week 12

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 apartOther. General questions

Hey guys! It's really fun to be back again, this is my second grow. I'm kinda desperate for answers now, because the roots have started to come out of the bottom of the Airpots, as you can see on a picture I uploaded. Is this going to cause root problems?
any overall opinion?thxWeek 6

Haven’t given it feed as waiting for more leads to come maybe next week.
