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.

Do you have a solution to stop the growth of stems?
Apparently this would be due to a lack of light and stress because of the too high temperature. I exposed them in a brighter place and I controlled the temperature to a maximum of 25/26°C. It doesn't seem to stop... How can I repair the damage? Is it too late? Thanks in advance.

How long into the flowering phase do plants stop stretching?
Title says it all! This plant is already so much taller than either of the plants I grew the first time around. I still have some room in my tent to accommodate a little bit more height - just not THAT much more. Which week of flower will do plants typically stop stretching?

autos growing too tall?
First time grower, 5 plants (autos) just over 5 weeks from germination in greenhouse (50-60cm in height), wondering if they are growing too tall and if it is too late to either top or carry out some low stress training at this stage? Any other advice welcome. Thank you all

stretched 12 day- insufficient light
are plants very backward for 12d?Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small,it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds?Does it cause the yield to decrease?Or still have a chance to fix it?

HLG 600R distance during sprouting
How close should my 600R HLG LED be to my solo cup seedlings? I have 4 in cups each about 3-4 inches tall and I’m worried the light isn’t close enough. It’s running at 20% and 36in from the tallest sprout. Am I good? Thanks in advance!!!

1 week in veg no new leaves yet?
Is there anything else I can do to make the true leaves come out or do I just have to be patient? It is literally at the window silk at the moment. No lamps used. It only has the 2 true leaves from when it popped out of the ground last week.
