Tight nodes good or bad?

MTMT2021started grow question 4y ago

I have a pink lemonade 2 weeks 5 days old. It has great color and growth. Just wondering why my nodes are so tight ? Is this a good thing? I have read mixed feelings both ways. Thank you for any feedback.

I like to keep my nodes pretty tight. You will get a lot of stretch when they hit flower so keeping them short now will help you have a more manageable plant when it hits flower. If you feel it's too tight then raise your light about 6 inches and see what it does for a few days then make more adjustments as needed.

Plants won't stretch.What can I do to get these plants to stretch? They are going into Week 4 and only 5" tall. They have a diameter of appx 10" I feel these should be much taller at this point.

Plants very bushy / too short (?) 5w from seed; 35cm from (600W) LED lamp I'll put my question here as well for better visibility; Plants are very bushy and I'm not sure if I should prune subbranches or let them grow that way. I'm a little worried they'll lack space when they'll start flowering. It might be suboptimal as well. Thanks for helping me !

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?

Size of Auto at end of Week 3 I know genetics is a big factor, but these are suppose to be Sativa dominant 70/30, and they seem to be so short, even the LST sprouts are only a couple inches. When do autos typically take-off and produce some distance between nodes or are these stunted?

Should I switch to Flower I am getting ready to flip to flower. She just doesnt seem to be growing any taller in Veg right now and not sure why. Most people say their plant grows 2-4 inches per week and mine just seems to limp along. Does anyone have ideas? Should I wait to switch to Flower?
