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.

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

How tall can grow Durban Posion in late flowering?
Hi, what do you think, how tall can this plant grow? It is 4th week of flowering, and she already stretched out two times in size after switching lights. The distance from light is 30cm. The light is 65W LED. Also, what do you think about bud fattening? More light needed?

Any ideas why 2/4 have grown much taller and the other 2/4 are shorter and bushier?
Does anybody know why 2/4 plants seem to be way taller than the other two? All four are meant to be the same strain, have all had the same conditions since day 1. Today i moved the taller plants to the left side of the tent and raised the shorter plants.

How much more she can stretch? Liberty haze
Hello everyone. Exactly 2 weeks ago I switched lights to 12/12, I found 1st preflowers yesterday. My question is how much more she can stretch yet? She doubled her size in 1 week, I got like 30cm left for my light. What to do if she won't stop stretching? Can I still supercrop?

Seedling stretching
Is it normal for a seedling to stretch closer to the light than the other 3 seeds and have stunted growth? All 4 have equal light and run on a RDWC getting equal nutes.

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?
Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!

Wtf happened?
Wondering if anyone can help me understand why one plant grew out so stretched and with unformed buds while the other from same seed packet appears normal. Is this just a weird pheno? The strain (NLTxGelato) is a new one so I'm not sure how stable the genetics are.
