Assymetrical stem growth

OneDropOfTHCstarted grow question 4 years ago

Hey, does anyone know what is this a sign of? It's the second plant I grow that starts growing like this at some point. One node below is symmetrical, new node is unsymmetrical. Is it from the heat stress? Or from the stretching to reach the light? Stress or not?

That’s the plant telling you she is ready to produce. Totally normal and strain dependent on genetics. Either keep her in veg and breed a monster or flip to flower when you are ready. Enjoy the grow my friend!

It is not stress, this is a completely normal sign of growth, staggered nodes will appear after the first few nodes.

When it starts offsetting like that it means she’s matured and ready to flower. You flip to 12-12 when you want and she’ll be ready.

What is wrong with her (stretch, no leaves, tiny buds)???What is wrong with her (stretch, no leaves, tiny buds)??? I think I stunted her for the first 5 weeks by not PH balancing and overnuted. Is she even worth saving at this point (running out of space)?

Hi growers, I've got a an issue with one of my plants.. After 2 weeks of LST two of them seem to be doing fine growing in all directions, but the third one keeps on one side and all the leafs are very tight to each other. 😕 Do I need to get worried about it? How can I help it?

General Advice (Day20)Hi there :) Seeking a little advice from you guys :P I'm thinking about cutting off the mid nodes of my girls dominant stem to give the other ones more space later on as i branch them out. Is this a good idea or is there enough space between them already? Thanks for your help :)

Help. Will she fatten up or is she done?She's 8 week auto Blueberry. Small genetics at only 60cm fully grown. She's still developing at the bottom but pistils are turning brown. I want to get her to fatten up a bit more before harvest. Harvest time states around 10 weeks. How can I get her bigger buds? Is she ok?

Grow space set up?Hey guys, interested to know what your arrangements are inside your tents? Watering is tricky as they are sat inside washing up bowls on the floor atm. Do you have fancy shelves or grids or nothing? I am keen to make the most of my tent space and air flow! 200cm by 180cm ish.

Why did two of my plants stretch massively Taking a look at the video in week 9 you can see that two of my plants have stretched substantially more than the others, im trying to figure out if this is something I can prevent or if this is purely genetics.. ant advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

When should I start pruning leaves? What techniques would be recommended for a first time grower like myself? My Critical Purple plant has a lot of space between nodes. Is that normal?
