BobtheBUDbuilderstarted grow question 2 years ago

Hi, Thanks in advance for the answers. My green crack auto from seedsman is 61 inches tall and is now beginning to fill the stems in with large buds. I was told that it was to stretched and my light was to far away. Is this a bad thing? I kinda wanted stretch cause more fill in

Looks fine to me. It's all about individual preference with how tall you want it. Some strains will fill a 3x3 on its own if trained right. That girl is fully flowering, so it's not gonna grow any taller now it's just fattening up. Enjoy the process.

Get yourself an app to measure light strength i like using the tent buddy app, its free. The next thing you want to think is temperature light is a big factor in your temp as well.

I've found stretch to be influenced much more by genetics than anything else. If they're getting too big for your setup I've had a lot of luck topping and/or supercropping autos. Topping requires knowing the strain ahead of time so I supercrop if necessary when growing a new strain.

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

How many watts do I need for my small tent?I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?
