Ich sehe hier bei growdiaries viele Pflanzen und sie strecken sich alle gewaltig und sind sehr luftig. Warum ist meine Amnesia so kompakt und buschig? Hat jemand Tipps?

Hi friend, your plant is looking healthy! A nice canopy of dense green leaves producing plenty of sugars for the plant will leave you with a good yield of buds (you can look at my Euforia journal for an example of an extremely dense heavy yielder). If you are looking for a stretcher plant structure, genetics can be a factor (think "sativas"), or reducing your light intensity can induce more stretching and more distance between the nodes. But you should be pleased with what you've grown so far, I would take that over an overly airy stretchy plant. If it's absolutely too dense for you, you could remove a few fan leaves from the most dense portions and if they are laying over bud sites. But be careful, you don't want to take too many! Happy growing 👍🌱

Like GrowCN explains, it is better to have bushy plants. All bud sites receiving equal amount of light, leads to a bigger and much more quality harvest. Some plants will just grow compact naturally, with short internodes and uniform canopy. This is mostly a matter of genetic that determine shape and levels of natural hormones the plants produce. Some factors may contribute to excessive stretching, like your environment: poor light level, high temps, overcrowded tent. And there is a few tricks to contain stretching, like pruning and training your plant, topping it, using a SCROG, high level of light, wind stress... But a Thai sativa will never show the structure of an indica. Some growers are just letting the plants do their thing like nature would. Some others will do extra work to keep plants low and even.

I think a lot has to do with the lighting. When I switched to my current lights my plants are shorter, bushier and produce more. Are you saying you want your plant to stretch more airy??? I think your plant is looking good. I expect you are going to get some stretching now but not all varieties stretch the same amount.
