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.

Anyone used the Phlizon Cree COB 2000w lights? I’m running two in a 8’x4’ under a scrog net. 5 weeks into veg but nowhere near where they should be. Used only the COBs in veg as some suggested but had to put on full blast today and hope for some speedy growth before I flower them

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)

Does the size matter ?
I couldn't help noticing that my Magic mango is smaller (6cm) than my Gorillas (8 and 10cm)... Is it just because it is a different strain ? Or should I ajust something? Thank you all #keepgrowing

Same plant but one is smaller
I've notice that at one of the plants in each strain are notable smaller than the rest, all from seedling. Strains are all autos from RQS, Amnesia Haze, Fat banana, Stress Killer. They are on the same feeding schedule. Is this normal, and what are causing this?

Willing doming this stunted plant help it recover from its early trauma? I have attached photos of progress from the past 2 weeks
This journal has become an experiment in the resilience of this plant. When it was 2 days old I water and washed the germinated seed out of the peat pod, and have been trying to allow it to recover at its own pace which it has been, but is very stunted and behind it sisters.

Slow grow?
Looking at other diaries, these seem to be going so slow. Not sure if it's not enough water, light, or ventilation being under the house

Why didn't my plant stretch?
Why is my Wedding Glue Auto so short? She's healthy as can be. The issue here is that she is in day 30 with zero signs of upward growth and only 5.5" tall. Can I fix this somehow? Huge leaves though. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Look at the diary to see.

Blätter gucken aus Samen ohne Stamm?
Ich habe 3 Purple Punch Samen gekauft. Eine hat eine es nicht geschafft nach 9 Tagen die Wurzeln aus dem Samen hinaus wachsen zu lassen. Aber diese hat bereits die zwei runden Blätter entwickelt ohne Stamm. Liegt das an der Qualität des Samens oder habe ich etwas nicht beachtet?
