Your light is either too far away or not strong enough.

Oh no! I didn't give them the proper light power and they stretched too much!
The girls are already in their final containers and they are only 1 week old. Any tips what should I do to fix this issue and avoid stressing them out while I do it? Perhaps I should just use a guide? Add more soil? (it's already near to the top tho) or should just ignore it?

Weak and too long stalk?
Stalk looks to be very thin and weak. The head (leafs) seems to be kind of too heavy for the plant. It was very long too but I added some more soil for more stability. There was a short time without sun because I was not at home. It doesn't looks like other people's plants. Is it all fine?

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?
Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!

Suggestions? To tall?
First time trying SOG. Multiple plants turned male so not as much of a "sea" as I wanted. The ones that are left are extremely tall. It feels like they are to tall. Should I have kept the lights lower to stop them from stretching as much? Any other suggestions for SOG growth?

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 great
I 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.

Can I let them grow like this?
Hi, my grow tent is getting a little bit small. do you guys think I can let them roll like this? is this still okayish environment? The alternative would be to take one out and let the other grow in peace… Thanks for helping!

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?
This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

stretched 12 day- insufficient light
are plants very backward for 12d?Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small,it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds?Does it cause the yield to decrease?Or still have a chance to fix it?

How do I slow this grow? At day 25 she is way too tall and will outgrow closet soon
This is growing WAY too fast! It's on a 12/12 due to the fake auto next to it. Day 25 and it's 22" already. It's been growing at 1" a day since day 13ish. It looked normal until then. Is this from the autoflower living soil at the bottom 1/3 of the bag? How do I slow? Help!

Thin Elongated Bud Stems
Can anyone tell me why the bud sites have grown these elongated thin stems on one plant and not the other? Also noticed it has much less foliage. Maybe it's down to the main stem snap in week 3/4?

Plants too tall in back row.
The plant's in the back row are too tall. We cut the tops of the trellis boxes off about 18 inches. Even with LST I still think they're too tall. With the plants in pre-flowering (10 days) should we cut the top of the plants off or is this a bad choice? What do you recommend?
