Tall and skinny
Brandocomandokstarted 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.

Too Tall Too Quickly - How to slow this down?Following grower's advice, I chose not to top my autos.
When buying the seeds initially, I tried to buy only strains that were said to grow up to medium height.
Towards the end of week 5 and my Blackberry Gum is 90cm high.
How can I slow this down without affecting yield?

Let soil dry out too much or is it because they are stretching too much due to temp differences between nightWe 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.

Plant taller than it should be by 3ftI 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'.Plant. Too tall

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? #newtothisWeek 2

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?Week 1
