Plants seem too short and bushy

These girls look super bushy and squat, none of the height I see elsewhere. I kept the light at 8” above for seedling, was that to low or should I just chill and the height will come?

Si quieres que se estiren un poco más solo levanta tu panel unos centímetros. Pero no veo nada malo en su altura. Puede que sus hojas estén muy verdes, puedes bajar la dosis de nitrógeno o solo regar con agua por unos días, para no tener problemas de sobrefertilizacion.

the scraggily newer growth, even if it grows out of it, is a bit concerning. make sure pH isn't off... that is usually a trace element related symptom and it's rare to have an issue with trace elements in soil or soilless with proper hydro nutes for that matter.. so more often it is pH related. sometimes, runts hppen... this is genetic. overdosing P or K in vege can cause less internodal space, which results in a short plant with tightly spaced growth nodes. the light can cause that same 'too-short' internode if too intense. if you think it is light related, simply raise light further from plants, and within a couple weeks should see it respond. the longer they've been hammered with too much light the longer it'lltake for them to snap out of it, and only the newer growth. older growth may elongate a bit, but less-so by comparison to any new growth. So, eliminate possibilities with more knowledge available to you than what is given in the grow question and make the best educated choice you can make... it won't always be right, but being systematic about diagnosing it, taking notes and such, will only help the next time you face something similar. cause and effect... which cause is at the root of the effect you observe? always some guessing involved as we are not omniscient beings.

she is overfed, if you stop feeding for a week or even two, she will run,otherwise one big bud plant. fresh grow is totally claw up, i see no feed in diary, but its too much for them. 6.3 phed water when needed for 2-3 waterings at least. excessive nitrogen makes them small, fact.

The light was too intense, so the plant never had to stretch to get light. They do grow a lot when they start flowering. So you will likely be okay.

seconds ago If you want them to stretch make the light more than 8 from the top of the plant when the light is farther away they will start stretching and search for light or dim the light download the PPFD meter also 🍻
