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

Size matters??
After one week the Cheese and the LSD got pretty fast to 3-4cm in height where as the big bang, which started developping its first node and the second one is still very short. This has to do with the pot size, the genetics or both?

Plant too tall
This plant is twice the height of the others. I’ve tried to give it less light to slow it down. Afraid to bend it and pull on it. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Has the early stretch ruined my plant at the first hurdle?
Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?

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.

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?

New ones are too tall and thin.
Any ideas why the new one (Sapphire Scout and Mysterious Strain) are so tall and thin? What should I do to prevent them collapsing again?

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?

A tiny problem with size!
So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)
