CFLs are crap for seedlings, incorrect spectra..........humidity domes cause stretching too.

Hola!!!por lo que leo, tu lampara esta a 4 pulgada. Le falta mas intencidad de luz. Si tienes solo una lampara yo le pondria otra de la misma intensidad. Sube tu ph entre 6 y 6,5. Mucha suerte

Damn, those lights are AWFULLY close to those little ladies! And it doesn't make sense to me because normally, if a plant is getting leggy, it means the light is too far away - so perhaps you have them really REALLY dimmed? They're asking for more light so whatever the case, they need more intensity of light.
One other thing, before you run into other problems... you've got to get your pH up. Soil grows need to maintain a pH between 6.0 and 6.5 so that the plant can absorb any nutrient you give them.
Good luck!

Plant taller than it should be by 3ftI have been growing ILGM auto northern lights and they are growing far taller than they should. I plan to try 'topping' my current one (2 weeks old atm) but am wondering if this is the only solution. Ive made changes to my soil and a new light thinking it may be 'stretching'.Plant. Too tall

Has the early stretch ruined my plant at the first hurdle?Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?

She doubled her size in 1 week, I got like 30cm left for my light. What to do if she won't stop stretching? Can I still supercrop?

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early?
I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since...

stretched 12 day- insufficient lightare plants very backward for 12d?Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small,it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds?Does it cause the yield to decrease?Or still have a chance to fix it?
