Generally a plant can double to triple in height during the stretch. Training it while it's stretching helps to stop it growing into the light. There are various methods for training.

Micro growing?
How to keep things short? Very limited height. Tried "Short" photoperiod strains, small containers, short veg time, close as possible to availible lights. Going to try everything stated but also topping several times without recovery time?! Any suggestions?

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)

I feel like this one is getting out of control I think bad gene from problem early and slow flowering? Any suggestions of what I can do? I want to wait and see how it turns out even if whispy bud but not if it's going to be at a detriment to the others they are smelling lovely

Twisting, yellowish, drooping leaves
Soil: Nectar of the Gods (4shot) Nutes: Nectar of the gods (exact on my page) I'm almost positive I've been overwatering but what do I do now lol? How do I get my plants to perk up? Do I wait it out? I've also brought my light down 2 and a half feet due to stretching.

Recover from tall seedlings
So I realized that my seedlings are pretty tall because of light deprivation. How much does this hinder? Do I follow the manufactures recommendation (30% @ 1ft) or increase it slightly (40%?) to compensate?

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?
My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

Weak and too long stalk?
Stalk looks to be very thin and weak. The head (leafs) seems to be kind of too heavy for the plant. It was very long too but I added some more soil for more stability. There was a short time without sun because I was not at home. It doesn't looks like other people's plants. Is it all fine?

Let soil dry out too much or is it because they are stretching too much due to temp differences between night
We noticed the leaves a very light green colour and some were drooping slightly. We suspected overwatering so let them dry out for a night which seems to have corrected the colour however worried that we let them dry out too much? One plant was totally blew over by the fan. TIA
