Stretching optic 4 gen 4
KT420started grow question 8 months ago
Hey guys, we are seeing some pretty heavy stretching, using the optic 4 gen 4, had it set at 25% at 36in. Swapped it to 50% yesterday trying to see if that helps, but anyone have any info using this light?

If the light isn't strong enough it will stretch and fall over to try reaching for it. Too intense and it will burn. I generally keep a low intensity light on my seedlings for the first few weeks. Like i rock a T-5 Full spectrum 2ft light tube over them about 12" above. I let them sprout and grow up towards the light. After 2 or 3 weeks they get moved into their new environment and with the lights being stronger (i use a Optic 2 Gen 4 Veg) i will have them under it with 24" between the top of the seedlings and then light, and 50% power. I'll monitor their growth for stretch, or damage from light intensity. As they progress i tend to increase light intensity with the dimmer, but leave the distance set till they are on their 4th or 5th node. Then adjust the height accordingly.

Not sure how to close, xD but stretching is fixed. Ppfd meter was used and DLI was calculated ;)

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.

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?

Light distance and stem quality1. I’m not sure if the lamp is too close to the plant, it’s 8inch away. But it seems that plant like it. It’s only 200W and picture is added 2. When I’ll change the pot for bigger, can I dip the plant few more inches into the soil, I’m worried that the stem is too long and thinWeek 2

Plant still stretchingPlant still stretching before lights out & has grown another 10 cms in less than 24 hour's. I put the light to 50 cms as advised & dimmed the light from 60% to 50%. Very concerned I'll run out of space if she keeps growing like this. I only have 20 cms left to raise the light.

Light distance and StretchHi,
Thanks in advance for the answers. My green crack auto from seedsman is 61 inches tall and is now beginning to fill the stems in with large buds. I was told that it was to stretched and my light was to far away. Is this a bad thing? I kinda wanted stretch cause more fill inWeek 9

They are too big and I have not so much space remaining, what should I do ?68 cm already and only 25cm of height available (with the actual scrog), I just flipped to 12/12. Should I keep on scrogging or top all the heads ? I don't really know where to top as I removed some of the bigger leaves on one side. Thx !

Las plántulas se estiran buscando luzTengo una lampara QB LED de 50W a 30 cm de altura, pero las plantulas de los laterales del cultivo se estiran buscando la luz
¿Acerco más la lampara? ¿Las botellas de agua están disminuyendo el PPFD?
Fabricante indica a 55 cm para esta fase

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.
