Why is she so short?
GreenThumb333started grow question 3 years ago
Anyone have any idea why she is so short and not growing quickly. She seems healthy and I've tried bringing the light higher but that seems to have made it worse. Just curious on your thoughts.

It is likely the genetica of the plant. Less intense light will make her reach more as she grows. Honestly when she goes to stretch she will double or triple in size depending on how fast you turn the light up. She looks healthy and I would not stress over it. 🤜🤛🌱

You topped the plant.........this keeps them short and bushy!
18/6 is optimum, plants NEED adequate sleep.

The 20 hour light schedule is part of the culprit here. Plants do a lot of growing in the dark, and if this is a photo period plant, then she really likes her 6 hours sleep. I usually switch my photos over at 18 to 24 inches. That will give you a plant from 4 to 6 ft. usually, when she is done her stretch..

I wouldn't worry about her height... when you flip her into flower, she'll start stretching and I think you'll be pleased. The grow looks really, really good - I think you've done a great job! A different strain may have been taller but this is a gorgeous looking grow & I'd take that over height any day of the week!
Good luck with the flip and the flower!

How many days till harvest please? (It's close)Fine-tuning my timing, my 2nd harvest.
Looking for mostly Sativa effects but slight chill is ok to balance the acid-like high — 10-15% amber tx? 90% of pistils are orange/brown now. Feeding with 60-70% flowering mix, but only 50% N. Lens is Apexel 200X + iPhone, no affiliation2 months ago

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks).
To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?2 months ago
