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 guys. Considering the several problems of this grow, how I can change my setup for the next grows? Now I'm using Plagron Alga fertilizers and the Promix substrate (no fertilized). Do you suggest to set the lamp in bloom mode (more reds) also during the veg phase? Thanks, M

Is This Auto Stunted?
Was worried about the size of her leaves - like I mentioned I think color & texture look good. I know humidity and temps weren't great during early stages. Could she be stunted? As of the last update plant is 31 days above soil.

Are these autos stunted?
Maybe I'm just being paranoid where this is my first grow but these girls are at day 20 from sprouting and are only about 3 inches from the soil. I did pick off the first 2 sets of nodes and feed them a little bit of recharge about 3 days ago.

Droopy leaves, curling at tips, and now brown/yellow splotches on leaves in DWC. Not sure what the issue is
Unfortunately, I can only write so much here, but I have a lot more details in my grow diary. The droopiness started about 3-4 days ago, but now has started showing deficiencies in the leaves, and plants seem stunted on height. Day 19 since sprout.

Stretchin ma plant
If I expose less light to my seedling and I let her stretch. Will the bigger size of the plant have an effect on the sizes of the flowers or is the plant going to genetically produce whats it made for?
