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

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!

This is my first time using the FloraNova series and I feel like it's doing a good job. Are the dark-stained roots normal for this series? My roots couldn't look healthier overall now, but I still don't know if the off coloring is still from the root rot.

Seedling stretching
Is it normal for a seedling to stretch closer to the light than the other 3 seeds and have stunted growth? All 4 have equal light and run on a RDWC getting equal nutes.

stretchy seedling
Hi i’m growing next to a window with approximately 10 hours of light + 4 hours of light from a 4W led bulb. The plant is kind of stretchy, not falling over but I added a stick for safety just in case. Is it healthy? Will it be normal and recover? I’m worried a lot. What to do?

Do you have a solution to stop the growth of stems?
Apparently this would be due to a lack of light and stress because of the too high temperature. I exposed them in a brighter place and I controlled the temperature to a maximum of 25/26°C. It doesn't seem to stop... How can I repair the damage? Is it too late? Thanks in advance.

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!

Is it normal for my flowering plant to look so thin and stretchy??
I kicked her into 12/12 schedule about 2 weeks ago. I’ve seen some pics of other plants about 2 wks into flowering and they look big n bushy as heck. Wondering if I’m doing anything wrong. Haven’t updated my diary yet but I plan to soon. Any help is appreciated
