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! ✌️✌️

BEHEMOTH outgrowing DIY SpaceMy autoflower has become a BEHEMOTH. It is now over 34" at 37 days?? DIY space only 2x3 floor and 7 feet high. Is this normal? It's a race to keep the light 8+ inches away. Not a heat issue (GREAT LIGHT) but concerned that this may not be growing correctly.Week 5

Flower Stretch and MainliningFlower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?5y ago

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.Week 1

Too Tall Too Quickly - How to slow this down?Following grower's advice, I chose not to top my autos.
When buying the seeds initially, I tried to buy only strains that were said to grow up to medium height.
Towards the end of week 5 and my Blackberry Gum is 90cm high.
How can I slow this down without affecting yield?

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

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?Plant.

Do you have a solution to stop the growth of stems?Apparently this would be due to a lack of light and stress because of the too high temperature.
I exposed them in a brighter place and I controlled the temperature to a maximum of 25/26°C.
It doesn't seem to stop...
How can I repair the damage? Is it too late?
Thanks in advance.Plant. Too tall
