Trying to grow up
ShiftyGaijinstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hello fellow gardeners,
This is my first Hydro grow. Seems to be going good, but I feel all plants are rather short. Am I supplying too much light so they don’t stretch out, or is something else going on? 4” tall after 4 weeks seems a bit short, but is growing plenty wide.

The plants look nice and healthy so there isn't an issue as far as nutrients or anything. Your node spacing is really close together so moving your light up some will let them stretch some and give you better node spacing for flowering. I would move them up about 6 inches and watch them closely for a few days if they don't get further spacing then go a couple more inches. Definitely a game of trial to find the best height for each brand and model of light. Good luck!

Well, that happens when you TOP the plant. It will develop secondary shoots more evenly and grow out instead of up. Give it a week or two and it will resume growing up.

Oh right, I probably should have stated what I’m growing. They aren’t auto. Fem Caramelino and Fem White Widow, both from Seedsman.
Thanks for the responses

with autos you get such a variety of sizes in the same seeds looks like you have just got a short one
Things will change when it goes into flower.
They decide when there going to grow sit there not grow and when they want to go into flower
a strange lot for sure.

Why is one plant lagging behind the others in growth?Does anyone have any idea why my plant no. 3 is stagnating in growth?
She had always the same amount of watering and conditions (except different medium) as the other two plants.
Yes, she is younger, but in relation to her age she seems to be developing much more slowly.

Is my plant delayed in growth?Do you think the growth is slow for its age? It's going to its 7th week and it looks pretty small to me (I'm the gf) and this is my first grow and I'm not sure if we could have done something better to make it more bushier and bigger. Any advice?

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Growing problemMy last 6 plants (different strain and ferti) grow up slowly and with less foliage. Even in pre flower the plants stretch while I do LST, then at the 2nd flowering week they drastically stop stretching, is it normal? Every strain is having the same result approx 15g for plant

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).
