Excessive streching, or is it normal?

Excessive streching, or is it normal?
What should I do to get more control for automatic genettics to avoid streching.
My guess is that this time, with healthy plants, and 3 in the 60x60 tent, they compited for light.
I didn't have a fan and ventilation is poor, would it be that?

If you've no ventilation. Your heat Vs the cold when lights are out causes stretching in pre flower
Keeping the temp within 5-6c is crucial for non stretching durin pre flower..
You could HST on the last few days of pre flower coming in to fattening. Tieing down the nodes (supercropping)

just bent the tops over if they get to tall. some strains just stretch more.
I did this on some of my autos that where to tall for the tent. some HST and snap the main cola on its side so it does no touch the light and get burnt to a crisp.
Good Luck!

high heat and humidity can cause some stretch.
Congestion can cause stretching too, because low-light hitting leaves (all of the shielding of tightly spaced stalks) will make it reach for more light.
Genetics is a primary factor, of course. Everything will be relative to the genetics.
go for 2-3 colas per sq ft.

4 plants + one bucket = massive competition = excessive stretching.
In future, 1 bucket, 1 plant.

some strains have sativa dominance so they will stretch quite a lot
in future you can use training techniques like lst or hst to keep the canopy even and avoid the legginess

Small/compact plants, light intensity? Genetics? FC-E 3000 50% 24” lamp to plant, 2 weeks old, fastbuds and ganja farmer seedsSince upgrading to my FC-E 3000 I’ve noticed that my plants seem to be more stumpy/compact. I’m just curious if I have my light intensity turned up to high causing them to be short with little space between nodes the way a weak light causes your plant to stretch?Plant. Spaces between nodes

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!

Any way to save my clones, and have healthy clones from these? I took these about 7 weeks ago and life got ahead of me. The plants these are from are greatI took these clones 7 weeks ago and never got around to transplanting them. As you can see, they are rootbound, stretched, and stunted. My question now is, is there any way I can make these clones usable? If not, it's a lesson for next time, but I want to use these clones.

Pytanie ogolneWitam mam pytanie czy to normalne? :) Odstęp między węzłami nie jest zbyt duży? Jakoś wydaje mi się że jest zbyt duży. Dzień 28 weg. Jest przed faza kwitnienia ale to chyba jeszcze nie czas na wyciąganie i taki odstęp. Wszystkim dziękuję za odpowiedź.

Lot of close inner nodesHas anyone had a issue with a bushy plant like this one? My Watermelon Zkittles I’ve very bushy and compact compared to my original skunk. At the beginning of veg I dealt with a lot of stress issues will this cause it?

Proper node spacingCan someone tell me the correct node spacing should be. I think they are stretching a bit and I should lower my lights, but don't want to risk light burn again. Conflicting info between light chart and ppd conversion with waveform lighting calculator.

Gorilla Glue Auto - Lots of small budsHi Everyone
Currently growing my first plant - Gorilla Glue Auto using Spider Farmer SF1000.
Hoping someone can give me insight into why there are so many small bud sites & why they aren't getting any fatter. Or should I be removing all but a few?
Currently week 6 since sprouting

Why is my girl so bushy and how to make her stretch? Thanks!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 😽

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.
