Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚
Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Extremely slow vegetative autoflower grow. I'm growing Glue Auto from FastBuds and Dark Devil from Sweet Seeds. What is wrong with my environment?
I'm currently watering about every 3-4 days, one time just water the other nutes from CANNA at 1/4 strength, temps between 20-27 and humidity about 60%. Glue Auto is about 30 days, Dark Devil is about 1 week. Oscillating fan is always on, extraction fan only turns on when >60%

FEMALE OR HERMAPHRODITE?
hi guys my plant is 8 weeks old. it has been in a premature flowering phase for 10 days. I believe due to lights on during the dark hours. in your opinion, will I be able to get something out of it while still waiting, or has she become a hermaphrodite? ITS OUTDOOR GROWING andLSt

Dark devil - problems still occurring
she’s not as big as the other plants and looks a big shrivelled up. Does anyone know why she might be like this and anyway I can improve it? It might be something to do with the weather as it’s a bit cold. I’ve gave it half as much nutrients as the other plants. Thanks

General grow ?'s
So at this point she's short. At least i think so..**newish**(marshydro ts1000) at around 20in, should i increase the distance to push a stretch? Also would it give her a boost if i added Cal-mag?

Very Small Small Growth
I'm having a bit concern about my plants here, they're 3 weeks old but growing very small (probably only 2-3cm tall), the weird thing is, they look very happy, and I don't see the plant having any problem at all beside that they are growing so small for a 3 Weeker.

Seedling growth rate
Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

Should I Stop LSTing the Northern Lights Auto since its stretching a lot ?
as title says im comparing the shape of my plant to other growers and since I have been dropping the main cola height it has become more of a circle rather the long sticks ready to be filled with bud.

Plants are never taller than 13-15"? Even after adding a 2nd light (in 3g pots in a 3x4)! Tried both topDressing
After growing 5-6 diff strains (all FB and Meph) all my grows top out at maybe 13-15" tall. Are my lights (2x Maxsisun PB2000 pro) holding me back? Or is 3-4 too many? I'm in a 3x4 in 3g- total 430w or so. Added a 2nd light but still growing bushes. 😖 Add another 100w+? THANKS!

You are a SATIVA North Shore Maui! You grow tall like the sky! Strong like mountain! You are not descended from short plant!
Currently overthinking this plant's development. Pep talk not working. It is a sativa but the shortest plant in my garden. Maybe just needs a trim? The yellow is a concern too. I haven't dealt with a plant this bushy before so not sure if it needs help or not.

How much light for a stunned seedling?
If my seedling is stunned, how much light in watts should I give to her? Does it make sense to give minimum light to help recover after over-feeding? (in my case 11w all spectrum bulb). I mean to help her to focus on recovery, not on reserving energy
