hello he behaves like this because he is looking for the light! but don't be alarmed put it under direct light (lamp or sun) and when you move it into the pot plant it a little deeper to cover that stretch!
Good luck! ✌️✌️

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? #newtothisWeek 2

Different sizes of plants : light power and distance to the plant choicesMy babies have different sizes from 25 to 16 cm. What is better ? : a strong light (Dimmed 60% of a 205 led) far away from the plants (46cm for the closer ones and 57cm for the smallest plants) or or a more moderate light (dimmed at 40%) but closer (from 35cm to 46cm) Thx so much4y ago

stretchy seedlingHi i’m growing next to a window with approximately
10 hours of light + 4 hours of light from a 4W led bulb.
The plant is kind of stretchy, not falling over but I added a stick for safety just in case. Is it healthy? Will it be normal and recover?
I’m worried a lot. What to do?Plant. Too tall

Good timing or terrible decision?Hey everyone,
my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it.
Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant?
It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?Plant. Too tall

Long and Spindly girlBubbles is stretching quite far. Long and spindly. This isn't good as she can't hold her head up anymore. I've lowered the grow light and also have the light going 19 on and 5 off for the grow day. What can I do to help her out at this point?Plant. Too tall

This plant is way to tallI am growing in a basement and one of my Sativa plants is over 5 1/2 feet tall. I can move the light another 4-5 inches up- but that's it. I was worried about this plant so I flipped her a few weeks ago- and boy did she stretch. I am scared shitless of topping her.Plant. Too tall

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 :)Week 8

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?1y ago
