My plant is too short?
m0useanswered grow question 2 years ago
Genetics can cause some plants to be more compact and short. Also the amount of light it is getting in relation to feed will also play a role on how fast it can grow. Plus the lights spectrum. far red and red cause more stretching where as blue caused more compacted growth.
Topping and FIM'ing will have negative effects on the plants height and take it some time to recover. It looks a bit small for 8 week veg buy you have also used HST on 3 of the weeks in its life, so its not to bad. I did a diary of plants that had a lot of HST and they are in similar size range. Best to let it grow out some more and keep up the feeds as you switch to flower.

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.

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600wI've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w.
Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?a year ago

Why is my girl so bushy and how to make her stretch? Thanks!Hi guys, so she's 29 days old. I feel like light and air can't get in, she's covering her new growth with her big fat fan leaves. I don't think it has to do with distance to the light because I tried being 40cm above and now 75cm, she just keeps growing wider, DLI 25 ~ 15k LUX 😽

Small autoSo 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.

What is the issue with my left plants?Started cultivation on 02/10, emerged on 05/10
My two left plants are struggling unlike the other two, why ?
I got Humi/temp issu and the equipment I'm supposed to receive has been delayed but it's look like I have overwatering them
Can I still give them Plagron Sugar Royal?

Why are my 1 gallon container plants bigger than the 5 gallon container plants? 12" in the 5 gallons and 17" in the 1 gallons? What am I doing wrWhy are they growing slowly? I have 6 plants total. 4 in this tent and 2 in another smaller tent. The ones in the smaller tent are in 1 gallon fabric containers and get the same bottom feed wick system as the 5 gallon ones in this tent. Why are the 1 gallon bigger? Thanks!

Getting better yields from small plantsShe's well into flower but in my opinion, she's too short for it. What can I do to make the flowering process go as well as possible considering her short 15cm stature?
The side nodes are barely 5cm tall and are already flowering. With no new leaves growing it might get rough.

Very slow seedling growth into Week 2, grew with only one healthy cotyledon...The #2(Pic 2) Pheno of my Purple Haze is a bit stunted/very slow growth into Week 2 - 3 compared to #1(Pic 1) Pheno. Is this anything to be worried about? I did germinate a #3 Pheno seed + 1x Jack as a backup in case this one doesn't make it, is there anything I can do to help it

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Short bushy plantsGot these short bushy plants filling the whole 1 square meter space. Usually I yield about a pound of dry flower out of that space with the same setup but taller plants. These only range from 1ft to 2ft tall at day 17 bloom. Can yield be less because they are short? Thanks!

Short seedling?2 weeks old, just transplanted to 5 gallon pot. Looks a bit droopy which I suspect is overwatering. My question though is she seems short. Leaves are growing more every day but not gaining in height. Is this normal? Too much light? 24/0, PPFD 250 (if I measured correctly).
