started grow question 2y 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.

1st morning after light recommendations
Hello, after the answers and the help from fellow growmies i put the sprouts in the greenhouse for light. One of them grows so rapidly. Do you think theres a reason one of them grows so much faster?

At what point do autoflowers stop growing? mine is at 1.4m now, week 8. Sativa, Super Lemon Haze Auto. I was assuming by the time its already flowering it would stop growing taller, but this plant just keeps going!!

Brown spots? It's on the plant on the left. Both the same strain, and autos, but I topped the one on the left. Its been growing too quickly tbh and just wanted to try to have an even canopy. Been feeding them fox farms veg nutes. About to switch. Dose her with cal mag maybe?

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?
Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!

Oh no! I didn't give them the proper light power and they stretched too much!
The girls are already in their final containers and they are only 1 week old. Any tips what should I do to fix this issue and avoid stressing them out while I do it? Perhaps I should just use a guide? Add more soil? (it's already near to the top tho) or should just ignore it?

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

Let soil dry out too much or is it because they are stretching too much due to temp differences between night
We noticed the leaves a very light green colour and some were drooping slightly. We suspected overwatering so let them dry out for a night which seems to have corrected the colour however worried that we let them dry out too much? One plant was totally blew over by the fan. TIA

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?
