Good timing or terrible decision?

KingLouiestarted grow question 1y ago

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?

Stretching Seelings Gorilla Glue Some of my seedlings are stretching far out of the soil already is this normal for the Gorilla Glue strain? I am growing White widow x Big Bud under same conditions: Lights are at 40% and 22inches from the seedlings. Humidity is being kept to around 75% at all times.

This plant is way to tall I am growing in a basement and one of my Sativa plants is over 5 1/2 feet tall. I can move the light another 4-5 inches up- but that's it. I was worried about this plant so I flipped her a few weeks ago- and boy did she stretch. I am scared shitless of topping her.

Different sizes of plants : light power and distance to the plant choices My babies have different sizes from 25 to 16 cm. What is better ? : a strong light (Dimmed 60% of a 205 led) far away from the plants (46cm for the closer ones and 57cm for the smallest plants) or or a more moderate light (dimmed at 40%) but closer (from 35cm to 46cm) Thx so much

How many watts do I need for my small tent?I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?

Let soil dry out too much or is it because they are stretching too much due to temp differences between night We noticed the leaves a very light green colour and some were drooping slightly. We suspected overwatering so let them dry out for a night which seems to have corrected the colour however worried that we let them dry out too much? One plant was totally blew over by the fan. TIA
