You're measuring from soil to top of canopy, otherwise that measurement doesn't mean much 🌱👍

from the base of the plant disregarding the pots lol I wouldn't measure it from the floor including the pot lol thats just cheating haha 👊 I would mesure how high your side branching gets in this case lol

Contest question, not a grow questionJust wondering why I can't participate in the Newbie of the Month contest? It appears the only contest I can join is Photo of the Month. Just want to know why all the "Join" buttons are greyed out except for the previously mentioned Photo of the Month? Thanks!!Other. General questions

Testing Cannabinoid ContentI've seen some growers report that they "sent a sample to the lab for testing" and was wondering if anyone had further insight or information about which companies do that and the process involved. I've tried to poke around myself to no avail.Other. General questions

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).Other. General questions

The spiralI've been staring at these girls for ages, it's better than TV.
Do you think they talk to each other? The height of each one is 10cm different and they're growing in a perfect spiral, as if to give each other canopy space.
Looks like the golden ratio in actionWeek 4
