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.

Dark devil - problems still occurring
she’s not as big as the other plants and looks a big shrivelled up. Does anyone know why she might be like this and anyway I can improve it? It might be something to do with the weather as it’s a bit cold. I’ve gave it half as much nutrients as the other plants. Thanks

Small auto
So this is a update they are now day 17 since sprouting out of the soil. They are autos and I'm convinced they are to small either from me getting used to watering or transplanting. Are they small for day 17 and should I start fresh. I want a decent yield.

Different sizes of plants : light power and distance to the plant choices
My babies have different sizes from 25 to 16 cm. What is better ? : a strong light (Dimmed 60% of a 205 led) far away from the plants (46cm for the closer ones and 57cm for the smallest plants) or or a more moderate light (dimmed at 40%) but closer (from 35cm to 46cm) Thx so much

Early flower and plant too small?
Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx? Royal Critical Auto - RQS

Are these going to flower in 2 weeks? :/
These are Autos, so theoretically I'm at half of the vegetative stage (day 14). I think they stopped growing because of low temps (around 10°C durind day). Is this going to flower in 2 weeks also if the dimensions remain these? :/

Little seedling having a hard timr
So guys; I'm worried about this seedling. She's having trouble on keeping up with her sisters. I noticed a yelow color on their tinny tips 🤔 Cotiledons got brown pretty quickly too. She took longer to "open" the cotiledons after popping from the soil. Should I do something?? 🙏
