Seedling skinny taper on stem??
CannbellFarmsstarted 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?

If this is your gorilla cookies diary i recommend you turn ur light up to 50% and drop it down to 24”

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

Do you have a solution to stop the growth of stems?Apparently this would be due to a lack of light and stress because of the too high temperature.
I exposed them in a brighter place and I controlled the temperature to a maximum of 25/26°C.
It doesn't seem to stop...
How can I repair the damage? Is it too late?
Thanks in advance.Plant. Too tall

Has anyone been through a seedling stuck in survival mode?I'm wondering how tall a seedling can get before you call it a fail? I was excited at 2 to 3 inches but she's about to break 5 inches and the first true leaves still don't want to sprout. I fed her bone meal two days ago and moved the lite. ec is looking like everything dissolvedPlant. Too tall

Las plántulas se estiran buscando luzTengo una lampara QB LED de 50W a 30 cm de altura, pero las plantulas de los laterales del cultivo se estiran buscando la luz
¿Acerco más la lampara? ¿Las botellas de agua están disminuyendo el PPFD?
Fabricante indica a 55 cm para esta fase
