Seedling skinny taper on stem??

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

Stem thinning??
Is my stem thinning or am I being paranoid? Tomorrow will be day 10 when I move her over to the big girl pot. Does the grow look ok?

Tall plants but leaves small
Hi guys. My first plants have almost 3 weeks. They have grown a lot in height, but the leaves are still very small. Is it normal for you? What could be the problem? Thanks 🙏🏻

Light distance and Stretch
Hi, Thanks in advance for the answers. My green crack auto from seedsman is 61 inches tall and is now beginning to fill the stems in with large buds. I was told that it was to stretched and my light was to far away. Is this a bad thing? I kinda wanted stretch cause more fill in

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.

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?

At what point do autoflowers stop growing? mine is at 1.4m now, week 8. Sativa, Super Lemon Haze Auto. I was assuming by the time its already flowering it would stop growing taller, but this plant just keeps going!!

Seedling stretching
Is it normal for a seedling to stretch closer to the light than the other 3 seeds and have stunted growth? All 4 have equal light and run on a RDWC getting equal nutes.

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

Brown spots on autos. Halfway thru week 5. Also, stretching rlly bad, under same conditions
Brown spots? It's on the plant on the left. Both the same strain, and autos, but I topped the one on the left. Its been growing too quickly tbh and just wanted to try to have an even canopy. Been feeding them fox farms veg nutes. About to switch. Dose her with cal mag maybe?

This plant is way to tall
I am growing in a basement and one of my Sativa plants is over 5 1/2 feet tall. I can move the light another 4-5 inches up- but that's it. I was worried about this plant so I flipped her a few weeks ago- and boy did she stretch. I am scared shitless of topping her.

Stretch to the light
How can you tell if your light is to close or to far? Is this gal stretching to much? Should I have increased the dimmer and/or lowered the light earlier?

Autos queries
Hi guys, have a question for all of you, I have so many tiny branches (one of the pic shows you exactly what I mean), shall I leave them or cut them all? I can cut them at this stage of flowering? Also, I bought Bloombastic by Atami, shall I give it now? Or when (in Autos)? Thx

Should the first tiny node be removed?
Hi guys! So this is a fb auto day 22. I was not planning to stress train her in any way. Could you please advise is this first node should be removed or kept? It looks unusually small to me and I wanted to remove it but I've never removed anything so early. Thank you, growmies!

Uneven Canopy Management
I've been trying to even out the canopy, Strawberry Cough (smaller/bushier) is a completely different pheno to Blueberry (tall/stretchy). How should I manage it? I've tried heavy defol/topping for Blueberry and prefer to stay away from LST - I want both to have a similar diameter

Can moving tent upstairs shock plants 14 wks.
Can plants go into shock if I move my tent upstairs in air conditioning, currently in basement room. I had to get 12" extension and after removing drop ceiling I still will need to cut 1.5" off the extension bars or move entire tent upstairs.
