tgog_th

Hi guys. I think my plant is too short. What can effects the plant’s height? I placed my light around 60cm(2ft) from top of the plant.

Too many par measurements from the light spectrum will cause the customer to create shorter nodes and stretch less. In addition, genetics is also an important part. My tip: defoliate and place the lamp higher or dim it a bit.

Looks like you're growing a shorter strain, and you're still in the veg phase. Your plant won't stretch as vigorously until you flip it to flower.

Growing out instead of up.
Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested. Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power. Nutrients/food yet to arrive. It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots. Suggestions?

One plant smaller?
One of my 4 plants is much smaller, the stem is much thinner and the leaves bend downward a quite an angle but otherwise it seems perfectly healthy and is still growing. Not a serious question just wandering if anyone had any thoughts on this. (Far left in the picture)

Pheno 2: Doesn't bounce back, not overwatered but shows symptoms
Pheno 2: Symptoms as if overwatered and over-fertilized (N). First can't possibly be true, second neither. Neatly monitored dry and wet periods. PH dialed in. It still grows. Pheno 1 gets treated completely the same and does fine. Instability or damaged DNA? Any possibly to save?

Super short plant
We’re trying our first grow with no nutrients and we’re a little over half way through the grow cycle for the Cream Caramel. The average size is 40cm but ours is still sitting at 9cm. There’s a lot of flowering action but it’s still not gaining any height. What could be wrong?

Why could this seedling be growing so slow?
Dropped 13 seeds from 5 strains. Only these gave problems. All in same conditions. One died and the other is grasping onto life. No problems with RQS before. Is is the strain that's picky?

Droopy leaves, curling at tips, and now brown/yellow splotches on leaves in DWC. Not sure what the issue is
Unfortunately, I can only write so much here, but I have a lot more details in my grow diary. The droopiness started about 3-4 days ago, but now has started showing deficiencies in the leaves, and plants seem stunted on height. Day 19 since sprout.

Plants are too short

General feedback
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

Stunted Early Growth
Wondering why growth is stunted On a 20/4 light schedule, water every 2 days with overflow more details in grow diary. Only thing i can think of is humidity being too low (45%) and temp hitting 28 maybe 29 degrees.

Good evening :) I have a question regarding the size of the plant. My current grow is in the middle of the flowering stage, but the plants are only about 25 cm tall. Is that normal for autoflowers? Or will they get bigger?
