started grow question 5y ago
Do I need to get my plant in the soil up to the first two leaves? Is this important? In that case i’ll try to cut a bottle and fill it up to the first two leaves.

You should make sure to fill soil up in container but it don't need to be at the leaves.

Hey all! Was wondering if these are too tall and if so, what can I do. Sprouted 4/15. Followed light company’s recommendations on distance and brightness to a T. Using 2 Viparspectra 1000W LEDs in a 4x4x7 tent.

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.

Stretched?
First time grower here. My plan was to keep these on my windowsill for 2 weeks before I move them outside for my outdoor grow. With them starting to look leggy, should I stick to the plan, or move them out early?Weather is currently cool 14c with intermittent sun.

Keep it small.
I'm starting to think about training her, because I'm very limited in height. My goal is more than 40g dry weight in the shortest possible time. (<14 weeks) The plant before I had fimed, no idea how exactly to proceed this time, is moving to 12-12 soon a good option?

Super crop or not ?
Hi everyone, she has been flipped to 12/12 exactly 3 weeks ago. I’m thinking about super cropping but I’m not sure if this is ok at this stage of flowering. Is it worth trying ? The middle of my plant is taller
