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.

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?
Photo at 5 weeks.

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.

No change in growth. Shall I get rid ?I've given them 3 days under raised humidity and I haven't noticed a change at all. I just don't feel they are worth my time anymore, something is not right and I don't know what. They should start flowering soon and it's nowhere near ready to, it's tiny. Anyone else agree ?Week 3

Induce stretch in a short plant.After much research, I couldn't find anything on how to properly handle a really short plant. Does anyone have a thought about this? Or how to induce extra stretch? This is for documentation and research for this particular grow situation. Please see week 5 entries. Thanks all!Week 5

Why didn't my plant stretch?Why is my Wedding Glue Auto so short? She's healthy as can be. The issue here is that she is in day 30 with zero signs of upward growth and only 5.5" tall. Can I fix this somehow? Huge leaves though. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Look at the diary to see.

Opnions?I really feel like two of the girls are stunted have not really had any new growth and already showing pistils. The other two seem small and not much growth maybe from transplant shock. while the last 2 are booming and doing excellent and way larger than the others. Opinions?

Is my plant too small (in week 4) to get a decent yield next month?Should I worry about the length of the plant at this time? I'm now halfway week 5 and it's about 25cm, but it's hard to believe this will still double in size in the next 2 weeks, assuming lenght growth will stop or slow once flowering starts.
