Short plants ok?
pltnm9started grow question 3 years ago
Plants are really short and stubby with a little canoeing. Are my lights to close? Right now at 21” away. I have good circulation and intake/exhaust fans. Do you see any issues I should address? It’s hard to LST with so many fan leaves in the way

If you’re worried about light height - check out this app called Photone.. I suggest it to growers often. If you have to spare for an in all purchase, it gives you a par meter from your phone that gives you a PPFD read out. It’s very accurate I’ve researched it and seen reviews of it compared to the benchmark apogee instruments. In veg I like to have at least 500 PPFD, and in flower at least 800-900.
Everything else looks pretty on point, sometimes you just gotta let those bushy ones grow out a bit before you can really LST properly.

As a beginner myself the light strength thing has been hard to nail even with research. I also had plants that were remaining low/horizontal. I found that rather than take the light maker's rough parameters it's way easier to measure at plant top and adjust accordingly. I've been much happier after downloading Photone on my phone (free) and buying the profile that matches my light (.99) and measuring the PPFD & DLI and adjusting from those readings. My plants (which are probably permanently stunted from too much light exposure) reacted positively after a few days of adjusted light (raised higher than the 24" listed by the manufacturer) and gained inches.

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.

Gorilla Glue Auto - Lots of small budsHi Everyone
Currently growing my first plant - Gorilla Glue Auto using Spider Farmer SF1000.
Hoping someone can give me insight into why there are so many small bud sites & why they aren't getting any fatter. Or should I be removing all but a few?
Currently week 6 since sprouting

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 😽

Proper node spacingCan someone tell me the correct node spacing should be. I think they are stretching a bit and I should lower my lights, but don't want to risk light burn again. Conflicting info between light chart and ppd conversion with waveform lighting calculator.

Lot of close inner nodesHas anyone had a issue with a bushy plant like this one? My Watermelon Zkittles I’ve very bushy and compact compared to my original skunk. At the beginning of veg I dealt with a lot of stress issues will this cause it?

Any way to save my clones, and have healthy clones from these? I took these about 7 weeks ago and life got ahead of me. The plants these are from are greatI took these clones 7 weeks ago and never got around to transplanting them. As you can see, they are rootbound, stretched, and stunted. My question now is, is there any way I can make these clones usable? If not, it's a lesson for next time, but I want to use these clones.

Pytanie ogolneWitam mam pytanie czy to normalne? :) Odstęp między węzłami nie jest zbyt duży? Jakoś wydaje mi się że jest zbyt duży. Dzień 28 weg. Jest przed faza kwitnienia ale to chyba jeszcze nie czas na wyciąganie i taki odstęp. Wszystkim dziękuję za odpowiedź.

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!

Small/compact plants, light intensity? Genetics? FC-E 3000 50% 24” lamp to plant, 2 weeks old, fastbuds and ganja farmer seedsSince upgrading to my FC-E 3000 I’ve noticed that my plants seem to be more stumpy/compact. I’m just curious if I have my light intensity turned up to high causing them to be short with little space between nodes the way a weak light causes your plant to stretch?Plant. Spaces between nodes
