The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fas...
LumberjackBudsstarted grow question 6 years ago
The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?

Hey man, it’s time to move your light closer to the plants or vice versa. They’re probably stretching for light. can’t see a pic upload one.
If you’ve got an adjustable ballast you can turn it down till they grow a little if not don’t lower it too far. 50cm will be fine, I’ve had my HPS much lower than that.

Slow growth / not spreading out much / compact plant. What gives ? Should I attempt to defoliate to get more light in there / pump more nutes ?Any advice on making it grow faster ? I'm in the 7th week of veg and it's not as bushy as it should. Still growing, just slow. It doesn't seem to want to spread much horizontally / fan leaves are staying relatively small. I'm in 3rd week of LSTing. Am I being impatient ?

Good time to flush?Having pH issues with my plants right now caused by not feeding with enough runoff. With my Gelato Auto I had a pH of 5.2 the other week, but got it up to 6.0 after a good feeding. A week later it's back down to 5.4, even after watering with 6.5+ water this week. Should I flush?

What causes hydro Ph fluctuations early in the grow?What causes dramatic ph fluctuations in hydro conditions so early in the grow, and how can I mitigate it? I have hard water, so I know that’s part of the issue (I tried to install a RO system recently and failed miserably). Other than frequent testing & additives, what can I do?

when to flipJust wondering, when would be a good time to flip my photoperiod plant(gelato)
after I made a manifold out of it, plant is 35 days old today and still kind of small.
will it stretch much after the light is switched to 12/12?
should you put the plant in darkness before the flip?

Flush time or wait?Not sure if the pics are detailed enough, but I'm curious if someone can help me out with when to flush? I don't feel like they are quite there yet, but this is my first grow, so I'm not quit sure how "cloudy" is "cloudy enough" to start flushing. Anyone have any insights?

temperature and humidityMy plants are now in the third week and the 18th day. What is the best temperature and humidity for them week by week? Until now, it was 24 hours of light that I want to take to 18 to 6, should the temperature and humidity of the night be less than the day? Thankful.

Does 72 hrs of darkness really increase the potency of the Trichomes/THC by up to 25%Hi everyone! Can you give me your opinions on doing a dark period just before harvest? Some ppl do 72 hrs, some less and some none at all. Can I get your reasoning for the method you use? And any other helpful info on the subject would be greatly received!Other. General questions
