Tall plants but leaves small
SantaMariastarted grow question 5 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

Good timing or terrible decision?Hey everyone,
my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it.
Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant?
It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks
