Tight nodes good or bad?
MTMT2021started grow question 3 years 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.

If you light is more blue/purple it was cause tighter growth between the nodes and a more red light will cause more length between the nodes.
it gets confusing when light intensity also is the cause for more or less length between the nodes depending how close/far away it is.
If you using LED's raise em up a bit. 5-10"
Happy Growing!

Stem growths or nodules? All info or theories welcome!One of my strains "The Incredible Bulk" always gets these stringy protrusions. My best guess is that it's like primordial roots due to the plant needing a transplant. Young clones don't have them just older plants of this strain. Any info or theories are welcomed.Plant.

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).

Excessive streching, or is it normal?Excessive streching, or is it normal?
What should I do to get more control for automatic genettics to avoid streching.
My guess is that this time, with healthy plants, and 3 in the 60x60 tent, they compited for light.
I didn't have a fan and ventilation is poor, would it be that?Week 8

Concern about VPD, stretch, twisting leaves ... or is it OK?This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.9 months ago

Grow help and adviceHey guys little help.
Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering.
Also does this look like flowering ?

What next for these clones?I have always mainlined or done some sort of LST with clones. This time I've let them grow out, but dunno what to do now.
What should my next steps be to maximise the amount of bud I can pull off each plant? Do I leave the clone to grow wild (I have the space for it)?5 years ago
