Hi guys, so she's 29 days old. I feel like light and air can't get in, she's covering her new growth with her big fat fan leaves. I don't think it has to do with distance to the light because I tried being 40cm above and now 75cm, she just keeps growing wider, DLI 25 ~ 15k LUX 😽

Plant. Too short

I'm not seeing anything wrong with your plant boss. She is stocky yes and a bit behind and I think that has to do with the phenotypes mostly. Also your substrate looks a bit dry so that leads me to believe you may not be watering them enough. Your temps are good just a bit warm but the humidity is good. You could drop the temp a few degrees to help the VPD. Hope this helps bud.

So I had some bushy GSC one time. They all started just like this. What I did was remove the big fan leaves and it helps get some light to the nodes that need growth. Around week 3/4 I will take off all the big leaves and it has always worked out well for me. :) cheers hommie!

very indica dominant, they will tend to have short internodal distance, so if you want a taller plant just give them 1-2 weeks more, in prefloration they will strench for sure, so keep that in mind, the plant looks happy and healthy, she will be a nice one.

She's fine . Let her grow a bit she will stretch . You can also drop that DLI down a couple points to see if that helps.

It's light intensity, you can always defoliate her to open her up. Training is beneficial to increasing yield. In vegging they don't prefer intense light. The lesser actually promotes growth because the plant has to work to catch the light. There is a limit though.

Whats the dim setting on the light if it comes with one? could try lowering it a bit to see if it helps. Some plants will just be more bushy and compact. not a whole lot you can do about it. my last grow one plant was way more stretchy then the others. Also far red light causes more stretching in plants. and if you already have a stretchy plant to begin with it can get a bit nuts. given its a photoperiod plant you can always defoliate and give it time to recover before switching to flower. Good Luck!
