stretched 12 day- insufficient light
are plants very backward for 12d?Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small,it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds?Does it cause the yield to decrease?Or still have a chance to fix it?

Plants too tall in back row.
The plant's in the back row are too tall. We cut the tops of the trellis boxes off about 18 inches. Even with LST I still think they're too tall. With the plants in pre-flowering (10 days) should we cut the top of the plants off or is this a bad choice? What do you recommend?

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 :)

Plants too tall
The ladies are exaggerating and the veg season is going to last at least 1 more month or more. I keep doing HST but it's not enough. Even on multiple branches. Even stopped feeding. Any suggestions? Can't LST due to strong wind during storms.

Why does this take so long ?
I have three Thai landrace Mekong sativas from Ace Seeds (you can check my diary). Is it normal for them to take this long? I'm in week 16, and there's still no sign of trichomes. One of them is only in the early flowering stage. It seems really weird. Do you guys have any ideas

First time grower, concerned about plants thinning.
This is my first grow, I will be switching these girls to t5 tomorrow. Should I be concerned by their height? They will also be going outside into a greenhouse after 2 weeks inside.

Good timing or terrible decision?
Hey everyone, my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it. Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant? It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?

enlonged buds
The younger plant has developed flowers in an enlonged shape. The plant herself has grew a lot during her cycle (plant on the left day 72) and I can't understand the reason. Maybe some stress due to the hot temperature in the box during the veg (30ºC as peaks sometimes).Any idea?

Is it too late to add soil to this autoflower?
15 days post sprout. There's quite a bit of stretching before the coteldyns as my light was too weak for the first few days. I'd like to top up the soil, but is it too late? Will new roots still form?

Beginners mistake: how best to navigate light stress issues for tall plant in a too small tent?
We have two autos in 5 gallon pots in a small 24"x24"x48" tent. One of our plants is inches away from the LED grow light and it's experiencing light stress for sure. What can we do to get these plants to harvest as best as possible? We are LSTing now.

Will this branch hold? Newbie
Currently 10 days in too flower. I’m worried that this branch will snap at one point. Did I over do LST? I laid it flat to counter balance it from the main stem.
