seedlings stretching to much? Not enough soil?
sir_isOanswered grow question 3 years ago
Lighting, heat, soil content/nutrients/additives are the main factors in stretching, as they affect hormonal balance.
It's not just light that causes stretching.
Yours doesn't seem to be stretching particularly excessively, probably just wants a little more light. If you want to you can top up the soil a bit and it'll just grow some more roots from the stem.

Just about. I would give them 20h light, should prevent further stretching.

Soil amount will have absolutely no bearing on "stretch".
Stretch only occurs when the light intensity is too low. Although your seedlings do look fine, they are stretching a bit, so try lowering your light(s) a small amount or upping its percentage if you have a light with a variable intensity dial.
Hope this helps,.........

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lowerNow 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

Plant too big for growboxLong story short, I overshot my container size, and now I have plant that is outgrowing my box. I cannot move it, so the only options are to manage the growth or kill it. Any tips that would help me keep the size down and bring this plant to successful harvest would be great.

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)
