Hey Growmie, lower your light a bit,’or turn your dimmer up to a higher -% the stretch without new nodes appearing is due to a lack of PPFD. I would also get some wind resistance added to that tent to get those little girls moving around, this will strengthen the stalk of the seedling and encourage better growth. Good luck! ❤️🇨🇦👊

It could turn into an issue if it continues, it could keep stretching and become so elongated that it falls over. The reason it's doing this is that your light is too far away from the plant, try putting it about 24" inches from the top of your seedlings and you can also add more soil around it to make it more stable.

Your lights, as everyone has said, are too far from the seedlings and they're desperate to get to it which makes them grow tall and leggy. You can certainly add more soil if they seem weak to you - but the best advice is to move those lights down closer! Good luck!

Move your light closer or increase the percentage if you have a dimmer on your light. I use 100% and both veg and bloom switched on from day one until harvest day and believe this produces superior results. Add some extra soil into your pots to support the stems, the buried portion of stem will sprout roots eventually.

Hello. Looks good. No need to worry. Sometimes they do this. Just find a way to support the plant. When the plant grows, when the leaves get bigger, it will want to topple over, so you need to support it until the stem gets big enough to support itself. A bent piece of wire will work. Chuck.

Light spectrum and stress By switching between LED spectrum: Would the plants stress out ? The veg spectrum only was producing too much stretch due to lamp being not close, imo. So started using both spectrum and the light intensity is way higher now. Also they get some sun light due to tent position.
