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.

Automatica 25 dias muy pequeña?
My autoflowering plant is 25 days old, it's planted in an 11-liter pot in soil and measures 18cm. It hasn't flowered yet. Do you think it's too small or is it a good size?

Being an auto, what do you think the chances of the stunted baby turning around? Will it still yield ok or will it stay miniature throughout its cycle. Literally the vertical growth stopped after about an inch and it’s first leaves are tiny. The second set are just sprouting now.

Tallo muy frágil
Is it normal for the stem to be so fragile? I have to support it by packing the soil well; the plant already suffered a small narrowing from which it has survived. Could that have something to do with it? Any advice?

Is my plant too small (in week 4) to get a decent yield next month?
Should I worry about the length of the plant at this time? I'm now halfway week 5 and it's about 25cm, but it's hard to believe this will still double in size in the next 2 weeks, assuming lenght growth will stop or slow once flowering starts.

Plants don't stretch
I’m at the beginning of week 7 of my grow. The girls started flowering in week 5, but I’m starting to get a bit worried because they haven’t developed much. They are staying very short and the vegetation is extremely dense.

No change in growth. Shall I get rid ?
I've given them 3 days under raised humidity and I haven't noticed a change at all. I just don't feel they are worth my time anymore, something is not right and I don't know what. They should start flowering soon and it's nowhere near ready to, it's tiny. Anyone else agree ?

Light intensity? Should I dim?
I'm having a light-science question. I have 5 bulbs, 11w each, total 55w. I know this is not much but anyway. Should I dim the lights for seedlings even If I have this low setup? I mean, does light intensity affects seedlings' health? Or 55w can work on a maximum level?

Auto to Small
Please help, not sure why this auto is freaking small. I know for the first two wks I gave nothing but pH water, then gave first light nutrients. I'm not sure if not raising my light soon enough possibly making it shorter/ not stretch as much. How do I correct it or do different
