The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fas...

LumberjackBudsstarted grow question 7y 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.

Any tips on fixing leggy sprouts would be appreciated... The stem is so skinny they look like they can bend over and snap any time. Also wondering about what to feed the little ones. I bought bone and blood meal from store, is it sufficient for the seedlings?

Hey guys and girls. My buddy is at her 40th day of life and has gotten into flowering for good (check my diary). Will she grow taller and thicker or not? I think I caused nutrient lockout last week and she started flowering earlier than expected. Will that affect my yields?

I had not filled my pots enough, the heat accumulates inside it can go up to 32° without a fan. Currently I have added fans but I'm afraid it will dry out my plants. A solution ? (HPS 400w. I have 2 inlets that bring air at 20° to the bottom of the tent and an extractor at top)

White "inflorescences" after 24 days from seed and smelly plant, is it normal?Dear fellow growers, I've noticed today some white "inflorescences" coming out from the plant, and it's also quite smelly. Since it's day 24 since I've planted the seed, I feel that the plant is too small to start flowering, what do you think? I've not changed light cycle (~16-8)
