would like to know why the stem of my plants go up...
GlobeSurferstarted grow question 5 years ago
would like to know why the stem of my plants go up very quickly without getting fat. I respected the temperature, the humidity, the ph, the soil, the distance of the lamps (40cm) etcetc. It is due to a lack or excesses of something or it is normal? I posted more photos to see

@GlobeSurfer They are climbing towards the light but now that they are so leggy this gives you an oppurtunity to make the plants super strong
Simply bury half of that main stem when you repot them so that only half of it is above ground level. The stem which gets buried will eventually grow roots of its own
giving your plant more access to moisture and nutrients .

Hello my friend
Is your plant looking for light perhaps the pot farthest from your lamp? Me when one of my plants is looking for the light I climb it higher by putting it on a hold or I rotate my pots every day. By swapping your pot with another one you will know if it's because of the light or just a capricious genetics
I urge you to put a fan (not too strong anyway) that will allow your plants to strengthen its roots and therefore better assimilate nutrients.
May the strength be with you 💪

The stems are so small because the plant is looking for light. Your light is to weak/ to far away from her. Solutions: Go if possible closer to the light. Give soil around the stems, and dig her deeper if you tanplant. Give her airflow ( the lants shoul move alittle from the wind) do some training with her. Take your hand horizontal above the plant, take the "stem" between 2 fingers, and shake the stem. Little cracks apear in the stm and fatten it up. Airlow does the same ( wind in the nature) and getting closer does the same

First Scrog attempt - How much defoliation?I put a Scrog net in and over two days defoliated most of the leaves and small stems below the screen, also took out just a few leaves from the canopy that were obviously shadowing bud sites. Should I be thinning the canopy even more?

Did I remove too much growth?Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves.
She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy.

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?
