started grow question 3y ago
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.

Started LST but now plants look a bit sick?
I attempted to do LST but I think I've maybe started too early as some of the leafs started to wilt kinda bad afterwards. Was careful not to break anything. Edges are curling and have discolored. I have a feeling they're a bit short too? Photo from 5 days ago and today.

First grow. Seedling difference. Should i be worried?
Two seeds were planted at the same time, but after 5 days i see a significant difference between them. The bigger one has stretched pretty fast, but the other one had an issue with dropping the cask & now is two times smaller and shorter than the first one. Should i be worried?

Uneven Canopy Management
I've been trying to even out the canopy, Strawberry Cough (smaller/bushier) is a completely different pheno to Blueberry (tall/stretchy). How should I manage it? I've tried heavy defol/topping for Blueberry and prefer to stay away from LST - I want both to have a similar diameter
