Hi Royaljack
Every plant needs stretch but why and how much?
A plant stretching on pre-flowering is not due to low light conditions.
A plant stretching due to low light conditions is not the same as streching for preflowering.
While a plant might stretch in low light to 1,2m it might only have 6 buds along the branch but if a plant stretches in pre-flowering with full light conditions it will develop more in general. even it's the same 1.2m or even 20cm shorter.
Makes sense no? More light, more energy, more plant?

Indeed, lift your lights to make them stretch.

If you need stretch then lift the light or turn its power down. They will still stretch under intense light though.

Auto to SmallPlease help, not sure why this auto is freaking small. I know for the first two wks I gave nothing but pH water, then gave first light nutrients. I'm not sure if not raising my light soon enough possibly making it shorter/ not stretch as much. How do I correct it or do different

Stunted Growth, Continue?Hello growers,
My plants are 14 days from breaking soil, my question is will these young plants survive with the temperatures they're experiencing? I'm not sure why else they would be so small for how old they are. Thinking I might get a heated seedling pad and start over.5y ago

3rd week veg complete but still so small. What am I doing wrong?What am I doing wrong here? End of week three and she's still so small. These genetics should be going into preflower based on other grows. Didn't use any nutes except first watering with Cal-mag. Just PH'd water and ffof. I want to correct before starting again. Any help?

Genetics or pot size?Day 30. I have multiple firsts here for me, making it really fun and really odd. At day 30 I’m use to a way larger pot but in 5 gallon. Does a larger container effect early growth? These are healthy and loaded with stems ready to be buds. Or is it the genetics?Week 5

First grow. Seedling difference. Should i be worried?Two seeds were planted at the same time, but after 5 days i see a significant difference between them. The bigger one has stretched pretty fast, but the other one had an issue with dropping the cask & now is two times smaller and shorter than the first one. Should i be worried?

Can you save an Autoflower that is too small for it's age?Hey,
I've asked a question about my Fat Banana Auto being too small.
Is there even point in trying to save this one?
It's around 3 weeks old.
Started the recommended -6 hour direct sunlight method today.
Kept it in a semi-shade under a tree before.
Under window if bad weather.
