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

Shall I Start Over? XS2000 60%@26”Should I start this one over? I find that it is too tall. I am going by my lights (XS2000) instructions but I find contradictions everywhere I turn when looking for proper distances, ppfd values, etc. Some run these lights closer to their plants at 100% the entire time. 😳Plant.

Plants too tallThe ladies are exaggerating and the veg season is going to last at least 1 more month or more. I keep doing HST but it's not enough. Even on multiple branches. Even stopped feeding. Any suggestions?

Light spectrum and stressBy switching between LED spectrum: Would the plants stress out ?
The veg spectrum only was producing too much stretch due to lamp being not close, imo. So started using both spectrum and the light intensity is way higher now.
Also they get some sun light due to tent position.Week 2

Good timing or terrible decision?Hey everyone,
my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it.
Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant?
It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?Plant. Too tall

Plant stakes for heavy branches???Do you add structural support to branches before they form buds? People have warned me to add structure to my plant ASAP. I don't see a lot of photos of plants with stakes. My plant is really tall & I didn't train it because I was scared to break it & horizontal space limited.5y ago

Plant too big for growboxLong story short, I overshot my container size, and now I have plant that is outgrowing my box. I cannot move it, so the only options are to manage the growth or kill it. Any tips that would help me keep the size down and bring this plant to successful harvest would be great.Week 7

Different sizes of plants : light power and distance to the plant choicesMy babies have different sizes from 25 to 16 cm. What is better ? : a strong light (Dimmed 60% of a 205 led) far away from the plants (46cm for the closer ones and 57cm for the smallest plants) or or a more moderate light (dimmed at 40%) but closer (from 35cm to 46cm) Thx so much4y ago

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?1y ago

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?Buds. Not fattening
