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! ✌️✌️ Maryjane23

Too tall and flowering
So my girl here is 10feet tall. She just started showing signs of flower. I’m assuming photos have a flower stretch period? What the heck am I supposed to do? Ahhhhh oh no. Help

Feedback on my miainline?
This is my first mainline so I am looking for any feedback/suggestions on how it looks so far and what type of yield to potentially expect? 1 week into flower. Does it look too tall or stretched?

Plant taller than it should be by 3ft
I have been growing ILGM auto northern lights and they are growing far taller than they should. I plan to try 'topping' my current one (2 weeks old atm) but am wondering if this is the only solution. Ive made changes to my soil and a new light thinking it may be 'stretching'.

Weak Stem
I watered today with my sprayer & one of my plants fell over, is this damping off or am I supposed to prop it up somehow? The other ones are 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.

Is it growing to fast?
Is she looking normal? I've never seen anything grow as fast. She's grown 2 inches in 3 days. Only using natural light to grow because it'll be moving outside when it's a bit bigger.

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower 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?

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lower
Now 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine. Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow? Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height
