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

Concern about VPD, stretch, twisting leaves ... or is it OK?This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.

I am struggling with root rot in both my 20 gal reservoirs. Fixed light leaks 6 days ago (day 16) I included hydroguard in every reservoirs change and my water temps are pretty stable at 67-69 degrees f. I have 2 large air stones per 10gal water on highest setting. Any ideas?Week 3

I’m getting ready to use LST, which is why I planted not in the center of the pots (low box), placing the plant off the center of the pot does not harm the roots and crop?Week 2

Hello guys!
Overall the plant looks light green/yellowish and pretty small, with short internodes and bottom leaves with burnt and curled up tips. I give water every 3/4 days and commonly suggested fertilzers quantities.
How can I let her recover and get bigger?
Thanks :)4 years ago

Hi, this is my first time using qb light and i guess made a mistake that the height of the light way too short and its cause very tight internode spacing.. I raise the light to 70cm, started to training the plant for more light, will she bounce when the flowering start?

A shorter height sativa, but is it looking good so far? I noticed the tips of the 2nd node leaves getting a bit brown today, but I think its because I let it get too dry. Side root growth is lacking, but 2 long are out the of the bottom. Color is doing better after some adjusts

Grow help and adviceHey guys little help.
Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering.
Also does this look like flowering ?
THANKS
