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

Photo or auto 4ft tall 56 days no flower
1 out of 5 juicy fruit is still preflower and are 56 days. The one that is not flowering is almost 4 feet tall and is the biggest of them all. I can’t imagine that a plant with such fast growth is a photo. If it is I’ll be happy. Is it definitely a photo? Also it’s light sensitiv

SF1000: Why Is My Seedling Stretching So Much?
Why is my seedling stretching so much under an SF1000 in a 60x60? Day 1: 70cm/25%. Day 2: 60cm/30–35%. Day 3: 4–5cm tall, still stretching, so 40cm/45%. What am I doing wrong, and what distance/PPFD should I use?

Plant coming too much close to the light (?)
I think Gon is coming too much close to the light. I have little to no more space to raise the TS1000 and it’s already at 30 cm distance. Anyone has any advice of what should I do? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Stretched?
First time grower here. My plan was to keep these on my windowsill for 2 weeks before I move them outside for my outdoor grow. With them starting to look leggy, should I stick to the plan, or move them out early?Weather is currently cool 14c with intermittent sun.

Any ideas why the new one (Sapphire Scout and Mysterious Strain) are so tall and thin? What should I do to prevent them collapsing again?

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.

Hi dear growers, I have a little problem. So I have a Lemon Wonder Auto that germinated on February 24th, then grew normally for 6 weeks, took a break, and started growing again three weeks ago, and now it's going into flowering. My lady is now almost 16 weeks old.

Problem, long girls
Hi Guys! What is the better for me? If this round go to the trash and starting a new round? Other option is : the little girls get a new light and they will be healthy and strong girls? Ghs- Super Lemon Haze. Thank you!

How long into the flowering phase do plants stop stretching?
Title says it all! This plant is already so much taller than either of the plants I grew the first time around. I still have some room in my tent to accommodate a little bit more height - just not THAT much more. Which week of flower will do plants typically stop stretching?

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?
My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

Too much stretch?
I’m 4 days into week 5, which is week 2 of flowering. My RQS fat banana autos are 40-50cms in height. That’s too much right? That stretch could make for a poor yield. Should I be worried and, if so, how do I slow the stretch? Indoor, hps, 18/6, 26* high, 16* low, 50% RH.

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

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?
Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!
