Plantulas se estiran #2

nonick123started grow question 3y ago

Seedlings on day #3 after germination They are stretching towards the light Lamp 25 cm from the substrate Any ideas? Should I modify the distance of the lamp? CC (Crystal Candy) and NL (Northern Light) are right under the lamp.... :-( Maybe take them outside already?

all you can do is adjust until they stop stretching. they look fine though. give it a second. too much light can be a problem too. if nodes don't space out at all, that's too much. distance or more power... 2 options for changing intensity of light applied to the plants. if you made a change recently, relax and see how it plays out. things don't always happen overnight.

Thanks @Creepy_Steve I'm going to let them get used to the current distance (28-30 cm) to see how they evolve in a couple of days. This initial phase is really stressing me out, I'm keeping a close eye on them! I'm sending you another question so you can see what's happening on my terrace and why I've set up the initial phase this way...

massivetids How long would you leave them indoors? I was thinking about 2 weeks from germination or until they have 3-4 pairs of true leaves. I'll try the little stick idea if the stem looks weak! Thanks!

When I look at those plants they did not stretch that much and you can keep growing them inside for another week if you are scared that they will die from the heat outside. You can also support them with a small stick when they stretch a bit longer. And again use a fan with oscillating mode when you want to cool them down when moving them outside in the hot Spanish sun.

I just downloaded a par meter app on my phone and set my lights to 25% or 300ppfd and seemed to work great for my sprouts until week 2 when I upped it to 600ppfd. Happy Growing

Plant taller than it should be by 3ft I have been growing ILGM auto northern lights and they are growing far taller than they should. I plan to try 'topping' my current one (2 weeks old atm) but am wondering if this is the only solution. Ive made changes to my soil and a new light thinking it may be 'stretching'.

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?
