Should I defoliate?

Nick_Framptonstarted grow question 5y ago

I've been growing this plant for more a bit more than 3 weeks and it's growing very bushy and not tall. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to help get it to grow more tall. Maybe take off a few leafs? I don't know it's my first time growing lol. Any help is appreciated!

Hey growmie your plant looks great and it will stretch when the flowering phase starts it can double even triple from time to time in height so I wouldn't worrie most growers would rather short and bushy plants, you don't want them to get tall with week branches cause they won't support the buds as well as shorter and thicker branches. But if ya want them to stretch put you light's further away from them and they will but I wouldn't recommend doing that happy growing.

Slow growth Blue Dream has been growing much slower and is about half the size. All 5 plants have had the same conditions and feeding. Any thoughts on what could be the issue? We have been having some rain so I’m wondering if It’s overwatered? Looks healthy besides being slow. Thanks

Not stretching Using Viparspectra P2500. NL Auto not stretching turned lights down to 50% and raised them to 26"-28" . Should I just turned them up to 100% ? Manufacturers suggest that.

Grow lights Does this look ok? I have 2 plants not growing as fast as my macchiato plant. The other two are different strains, Runtz & Zittles. I don’t want to over do it but I know light is key so I thought I’d ask. Both 1000 watt uv & the other is led. I’m on veg week 5 of all 3.

Why is one plant lagging behind the others in growth?Does anyone have any idea why my plant no. 3 is stagnating in growth? She had always the same amount of watering and conditions (except different medium) as the other two plants. Yes, she is younger, but in relation to her age she seems to be developing much more slowly.

Stunted plant - Leaves are blotchy and wrinkly - Problem identification My stunted plant is recovering i guess, looking better than a week ago and is growing bigger slowly, but the problem has to be identified so i don't make that mistake again. The leaves look as stated, light burn looks alike but i'm not sure since the other 3 had the same distance

Blooming in week 3-4 The plant has 4 weeks from seedling 🌱 and it's already blooming. Why so early? Could it be nitrogen toxicity? What would you do increase the yield? I won't trash her, since the yield is not the primary goal.
