Seedling skinny taper on stem??
CannbellFarms
started grow question 4y ago
My 1 day old seedling is about 4 inches in height and has tapered in the middle to a really skinny point and it's done this in the space of 12 hours? What is happening?

Drop your light. Inch at a time. That's what I would do.

How close/intense is you light? Stretching is a sign of too little/too weak lighting

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.

Do I need to cover the stem with soil up to the first leaves?
Do I need to get my plant in the soil up to the first two leaves? Is this important? In that case i’ll try to cut a bottle and fill it up to the first two leaves.

Wtf happened?
Wondering if anyone can help me understand why one plant grew out so stretched and with unformed buds while the other from same seed packet appears normal. Is this just a weird pheno? The strain (NLTxGelato) is a new one so I'm not sure how stable the genetics are.

Any ideas why 2/4 have grown much taller and the other 2/4 are shorter and bushier?
Does anybody know why 2/4 plants seem to be way taller than the other two? All four are meant to be the same strain, have all had the same conditions since day 1. Today i moved the taller plants to the left side of the tent and raised the shorter plants.

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lower
Now 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine. Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow? Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

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.

Growing to fast?
Is there such a thing as the plant growing too fast? It has quadrupled its height in as many days causing it to sort of flop to the side. The leaves are getting bigger but nowhere near the rate that it's growing taller. Is this normal for strawberry cough? #newtothis

Which plants to keep, when to switch to flower?
How do I continue? Guess I want to switch into flower within the next few days. My idea is to give away #2 and keep the definetly female #3 and ScroG her. Dont think I can grow 2 strains with such different sizes at the same time. Opinions on switching 12/12 and only keeping #3?

Plant too big for growbox
Long story short, I overshot my container size, and now I have plant that is outgrowing my box. I cannot move it, so the only options are to manage the growth or kill it. Any tips that would help me keep the size down and bring this plant to successful harvest would be great.

This is my first time using the FloraNova series and I feel like it's doing a good job. Are the dark-stained roots normal for this series? My roots couldn't look healthier overall now, but I still don't know if the off coloring is still from the root rot.
