Hello.
Checked your diary and I’d say they will stretch no matter what.
But if you want to stretch even more just dim or adjust the lamp height. They will grow searching for the light.
For example if you go below ~400ppfd (umol/m2/s) at the canopy height they will stretch as hell for sure.
Also as you just flipped them to flower you could give them a good Phosphorus bump at that age. Phosphorus increases the stem elongation.

I think you will find when you flip to 12/12 they will stretch anyway. See how they take your ppfd when you flip, you can always increase the intensity.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

Growing problemMy last 6 plants (different strain and ferti) grow up slowly and with less foliage. Even in pre flower the plants stretch while I do LST, then at the 2nd flowering week they drastically stop stretching, is it normal? Every strain is having the same result approx 15g for plant

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Is the structure of the plant at this stage affected by a stunt when they are in the seedling stage? I am curious to know if my plants seem too small or if they are average size - I chose not to defoliate due to them being so short - would appreciate any input here! ThanksWeek 13

What should I do with the small one ? Is it worth keeping it ? I just flipped to 12/12One plant is smaller and is so slow compared with the others I had to elevate its pot a bit and it's still not really catching up, I don't see why and there are no deficiencies. Should I dump it so there's more place for the others ? They are 6 in my small room

Should I defoliate?Plant is 3 weeks old, doing tremendous in all aspects. The thing is she topped itself at the first node and is growing extremely short (about 7in) wide and bushy. Should I defoliate? I am planning on switching to flower in 2 more weeks.
