They are fine get a fan blowing them around gently will build up the stem.

All looks fine. So long as your light is the correct distance you won't get lanky seedlings.

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚
Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Short seedling?
2 weeks old, just transplanted to 5 gallon pot. Looks a bit droopy which I suspect is overwatering. My question though is she seems short. Leaves are growing more every day but not gaining in height. Is this normal? Too much light? 24/0, PPFD 250 (if I measured correctly).

Short bushy plants
Got these short bushy plants filling the whole 1 square meter space. Usually I yield about a pound of dry flower out of that space with the same setup but taller plants. These only range from 1ft to 2ft tall at day 17 bloom. Can yield be less because they are short? Thanks!

Once a plant gets stunted is there a way of fixing it and helping it grow again?

Handling runt seedlings
How do growers handle runts? Do you toss them out or encourage them and grow them out?

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600w
I've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w. Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Very slow seedling growth into Week 2, grew with only one healthy cotyledon...
The #2(Pic 2) Pheno of my Purple Haze is a bit stunted/very slow growth into Week 2 - 3 compared to #1(Pic 1) Pheno. Is this anything to be worried about? I did germinate a #3 Pheno seed + 1x Jack as a backup in case this one doesn't make it, is there anything I can do to help it

Getting better yields from small plants
She's well into flower but in my opinion, she's too short for it. What can I do to make the flowering process go as well as possible considering her short 15cm stature? The side nodes are barely 5cm tall and are already flowering. With no new leaves growing it might get rough.

Small auto
So this is a update they are now day 17 since sprouting out of the soil. They are autos and I'm convinced they are to small either from me getting used to watering or transplanting. Are they small for day 17 and should I start fresh. I want a decent yield.

Why are my 1 gallon container plants bigger than the 5 gallon container plants? 12" in the 5 gallons and 17" in the 1 gallons? What am I doing wr
Why are they growing slowly? I have 6 plants total. 4 in this tent and 2 in another smaller tent. The ones in the smaller tent are in 1 gallon fabric containers and get the same bottom feed wick system as the 5 gallon ones in this tent. Why are the 1 gallon bigger? Thanks!

First grow and concerned about height of plant.
This is my first grow and I'm concerned she isn't as tall as other growers plants, she seems shorter stockier and just more dense overall is this something i did? this is week 6. compared to the few other growers of this type the plant is usually taller but definitely not as dens

Why is my girl so bushy and how to make her stretch? Thanks!
Hi guys, so she's 29 days old. I feel like light and air can't get in, she's covering her new growth with her big fat fan leaves. I don't think it has to do with distance to the light because I tried being 40cm above and now 75cm, she just keeps growing wider, DLI 25 ~ 15k LUX 😽

Seedling growth rate
Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

my leaf are really clear
the temperature is very high do you think I should open my tent more regularly at the risk of dropping humidity and watering more regularly ? the temperature rises to 30 degrees because I leave the tent closed but do you think it's preferable to open it more
