Is it too late to add soil to this autoflower?
btc21hkstarted grow question 3y ago
15 days post sprout. There's quite a bit of stretching before the coteldyns as my light was too weak for the first few days. I'd like to top up the soil, but is it too late? Will new roots still form?

You can absolutely add more soil.... roots will sprout from the stem that you cover when you add the soil.... and I would definitely recommend you do this!
Growstickanswered grow question 3y ago
If you add more soil around the base it will start grow roots higher up, so its fine. Otherwise, you can just have a little fan near it making decent air movement and this will very quickly strengthen the stem. It's not a terrible thing to have a good space between the lowest branches and the top of the soil as it reduces the chance of bud rot, mould and fungus etc.

you can do it at any time and on any part of the plant what I recommend is not to touch the stem and leave it intact because injuries could allow some unwanted disease to enter @BEACHBUDZ757 it's not wrong but there is a risk

You can definitely add more soil. Ive seen people actually lightly scrape the stem of the plant that you are covering with new soil to help it root faster. I’m not 100% if that helps at all but I’ve heard experienced growers do it.

She doubled her size in 1 week, I got like 30cm left for my light. What to do if she won't stop stretching? Can I still supercrop?

BEHEMOTH outgrowing DIY SpaceMy autoflower has become a BEHEMOTH. It is now over 34" at 37 days?? DIY space only 2x3 floor and 7 feet high. Is this normal? It's a race to keep the light 8+ inches away. Not a heat issue (GREAT LIGHT) but concerned that this may not be growing correctly.Week 5

Growing to fast?Is there such a thing as the plant growing too fast? It has quadrupled its height in as many days causing it to sort of flop to the side. The leaves are getting bigger but nowhere near the rate that it's growing taller. Is this normal for strawberry cough? #newtothis

Light spectrum and stressBy switching between LED spectrum: Would the plants stress out ?
The veg spectrum only was producing too much stretch due to lamp being not close, imo. So started using both spectrum and the light intensity is way higher now.
Also they get some sun light due to tent position.

Stretched?First time grower here. My plan was to keep these on my windowsill for 2 weeks before I move them outside for my outdoor grow. With them starting to look leggy, should I stick to the plan, or move them out early?Weather is currently cool 14c with intermittent sun.
