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.

Plant too tall : Reduce light time exposure ?
Hey ! My Blackbery Auto (@fastbuds), week 7, took 30cm in one week. She will be too tall soon, for my indoor grow tent. Should I : - Reduce light time exposure. (19h -> 12h) ? - Give up, see this like a positive thing, and just put her outside to do what she want :D ?

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?

My plant is to tall!
Hello Growers! The size of my Fat Banana Automatic is getting out of hand. I didnt expect it to grow that big. It is in Week 6 now and its about 80cm tall + the size of the pot. Can i still take measures to keep the size down a little bit? Or is it to late? Thanks for your help.

Can moving tent upstairs shock plants 14 wks.
Can plants go into shock if I move my tent upstairs in air conditioning, currently in basement room. I had to get 12" extension and after removing drop ceiling I still will need to cut 1.5" off the extension bars or move entire tent upstairs.

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.

Will this be ok?
My plant is 3 days old and is already 100mm (4 inch) tall. I started this with a plant already in my tent so its a fair distance from the light. Should i keep it going or just start over when the other plant is finished?

stretched 12 day- insufficient light
are plants very backward for 12d?Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small,it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds?Does it cause the yield to decrease?Or still have a chance to fix it?
