Too small at four weeks?

IllGoostarted grow question 3y ago

The plant looks relatively small. Leaves look good to me, so I wouldn’t say a lack of nutrients, but I’m no expert. Could be the temperature fluctuations? Or LST gone bad?

Have you tried raising your light or turning down dimmer? That may encourage it to stretch. I don't see anything alarming.

Thank you for your answer. I don’t have a dimmer, and distance is 70cm (2ft) from plants… good that you don’t see anything alarming

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.

Size of Auto at end of Week 3 I know genetics is a big factor, but these are suppose to be Sativa dominant 70/30, and they seem to be so short, even the LST sprouts are only a couple inches. When do autos typically take-off and produce some distance between nodes or are these stunted?
