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

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.4y ago

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)5y ago

What can i do now to keep my plants down?So they grow about 9 cm over night 😲 I'm starting to worry,
that they will get out of control with stretching (Landrace strain).
What can i do now to keep them down. Can I top them now in flowering stage?
Continue with LST? More light?Week 8

A tiny problem with size!So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)Week 8

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?1y ago

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? #newtothisWeek 2

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?3y ago
