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

Duda sobre Plantula estirada ligeramente
It seems that these seedlings after 72 hours of germination are stretching towards the light. The lamp is 50 cm away. Should I put the lamp closer?

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?
This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

Thin Elongated Bud Stems
Can anyone tell me why the bud sites have grown these elongated thin stems on one plant and not the other? Also noticed it has much less foliage. Maybe it's down to the main stem snap in week 3/4?

Are these stretching? What should I do for the 2x top that barely sprouted?
Viparspectra xs2000. Just moved it to a 25" distance and 50% light intensity hoping it'll help, but unsure if it'll burn them? What should I do? Top 2x seeds JUST sprouted and are just barely above the soil. How to accommodate all plants regarding light intensity and distance?

She's getting too tall!
2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart

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.

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.
