SantaMariastarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi guys. My first plants have almost 3 weeks. They have grown a lot in height, but the leaves are still very small. Is it normal for you? What could be the problem? Thanks 🙏🏻

Not good! First off what strain are you using and light set up? Lights could be way to far and not enough(100w, 200w etc.)

Your soil also seems to be too dump, try to get it a bit dry, and only water when needed, and not too much.

Hey Growmie,
Your little baby is stretching and has slow growth due to a lack of light. The easy fix would be to bring the lights closer to the plant to increase the intensity which in return stops the stretching and give the plant enough light to start growing correctly.
Good Luck with the rest of your grow and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

Usually stretch like that is due to lights being to far away, lower your lights.
Get a lux meter to accurately distance your light, there is multiple references online for different stages of growth and what lux reading is optimal

stretched 12 day- insufficient lightare 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?

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...

Suggestions? To tall?First time trying SOG.
Multiple plants turned male so not as much of a "sea" as I wanted. The ones that are left are extremely tall. It feels like they are to tall.
Should I have kept the lights lower to stop them from stretching as much?
Any other suggestions for SOG growth?
