Do you guys know any tricks to get my plant to grow taller? Goal is to increase space in between nodes.
I've tried raising the LEDs to 30 inches for a few days. Also tried leaving it in complete darkness for 24 hours.

Hi @NASATrainer! What makes plants stretch: 1/ dark cycles, you can increase your night duration up to 14 hours with 10 hours of light, 2/ nitrogen, you could add some more Nitrogen during the stretch phase, but be careful not to over-do, a plant stunted with Nitrogen during flowering will result in weird buds or 'the claw'. 3/ plant-to-lamp distance, increasing this value should result in vertical growth, as the plant will look for more light. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

Keep doing what your're doing looks good. One thing you can do thou is to secure good amount of Nitrogen when flowering period starts it will help that stretch even more..

If you want it to keep stretching just keep on going how you are. Keep the light distance high. I've noticed some plants respond to defoliation/lollipopping by shooting and stretching. I wouldn't mess with her too much just to get her to stretch, because light intensity also effects stem strength and you want think stems to hold up those big buds.💪 Good luck and happy growing!! 💪

Dude stop torturing your plant lol, the plant will grow taller, this is a GORILLA , they dont call it that because it's small you know? it will triple in size during it's longer-than-usual flower stretch period , it's branches will grow, then multiply, then multiply again. You want to maintain an appropriate lamp to plant distance no matter what : it's the difference between yield and stress ! Just flip it and see, hope this helps 🚀

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Identify bug / larvaAny idea the bug / larva? Reapplied insecticide soap. Might need to change plans if she starts flower before they're dealt with. For additional reference see diary, and also I have tomatoes and peppers in the same "garden". Pics are at 60x magnification - first 2 on plant.

I'm under attack!I think I have a solo predator here guys! The damage is localised to the left main branch in 2 places and the top of the main cola and just below.
I have made up some washing up liquid pesticide and drenched the whole plant and vegetation around.
Could it be something else?
