Brandocomandok
started grow question 3y ago
I’m curious why one of my plants in tall and skinny. It’s the same strain as my others and they’re short and bushy. Any idea why?

All seeds have unique genetic codes and are like children, even though they have the same parents, all grow/develop differently. Only clones grow identically.

i wont complain in this stage of grow, everything is possible here. and an automatic plant tends to explode in a certian point of grow, so dont worry

Sometimes you get a grower, sometimes you get a runt. And every variation in between.

My plant is to tall!
Hello Growers! The size of my Fat Banana Automatic is getting out of hand. I didnt expect it to grow that big. It is in Week 6 now and its about 80cm tall + the size of the pot. Can i still take measures to keep the size down a little bit? Or is it to late? Thanks for your help.

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?

This is my first time using the FloraNova series and I feel like it's doing a good job. Are the dark-stained roots normal for this series? My roots couldn't look healthier overall now, but I still don't know if the off coloring is still from the root rot.

Wtf happened?
Wondering if anyone can help me understand why one plant grew out so stretched and with unformed buds while the other from same seed packet appears normal. Is this just a weird pheno? The strain (NLTxGelato) is a new one so I'm not sure how stable the genetics are.

Was this the right thing to do
They look quite small in height but I had to bury the girls up to there neck a few times because they were really leggy and tall , I had the cfl bulbs like 30 inches away then realised they were not anywhere close enough to the bulb

I have one plant in my first set dwarfing all hell out of my other four in the set, and the remaining plants in my tent. I'm trying to get opinions on what to do with her. She's about 35in comparable to the next tallest around 18-20. Still waiting in my bigger tent to move all.

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚
Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Загибать верхушку?
Загибать верхушку или рост должен остановиться? Осталось несколько сантиметров до предела и больше не смогу поднять светильник.

Which plants to keep, when to switch to flower?
How do I continue? Guess I want to switch into flower within the next few days. My idea is to give away #2 and keep the definetly female #3 and ScroG her. Dont think I can grow 2 strains with such different sizes at the same time. Opinions on switching 12/12 and only keeping #3?

Plant too tall : Reduce light time exposure ?
Hey ! My Blackbery Auto (@fastbuds), week 7, took 30cm in one week. She will be too tall soon, for my indoor grow tent. Should I : - Reduce light time exposure. (19h -> 12h) ? - Give up, see this like a positive thing, and just put her outside to do what she want :D ?

Can I let them grow like this?
Hi, my grow tent is getting a little bit small. do you guys think I can let them roll like this? is this still okayish environment? The alternative would be to take one out and let the other grow in peace… Thanks for helping!

This plant is way to tall
I am growing in a basement and one of my Sativa plants is over 5 1/2 feet tall. I can move the light another 4-5 inches up- but that's it. I was worried about this plant so I flipped her a few weeks ago- and boy did she stretch. I am scared shitless of topping her.

Micro growing?
How to keep things short? Very limited height. Tried "Short" photoperiod strains, small containers, short veg time, close as possible to availible lights. Going to try everything stated but also topping several times without recovery time?! Any suggestions?

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

Recover from tall seedlings
So I realized that my seedlings are pretty tall because of light deprivation. How much does this hinder? Do I follow the manufactures recommendation (30% @ 1ft) or increase it slightly (40%?) to compensate?
