Lampenabstand falsch oder normal

In the current picture, you can see that the plant has stretched quite a bit, and I only defoliated a little at the top. Is that normal, or did I do something wrong with the distance of the lamp? Thanks for the help!

Stop defoliating so much. that can cause excess stretch, too. competition for light can cause excess stretch. insufficient light can cause excess stretch. As far as hanging distance -- is node spacing proper? if too lanky, you have some evidence to blame the light. Looks like it could have used a bit more light, but, when each branch has significant competition for light, they also stretch out even if the light is not the problem. Is there a lot of overlapping leaves between the branches? easier to see in real life rather than a picture from the side. Removing leaves at the top can cause the plant to try to reach for more light... Stop removing leaves for 'bro-science' reasons. Read 'to defoliate or not...' on cocoforcannabis.com for a more eloquent explanation as to why you should not defoliate for the bro-science reasons often given. It's hard to say exactly why somethign happened when there are so many moving/changing variables. Assess your situations and apply the known concepts for a best guess. Stick to ~3 colas per sq ft. Based on size of area that plant is filling, you can probably shorten your vege... a ton of wasted vertical growth you don't use. you want to minimize how much you have to lollipop, not maximize it. that may help too... longer vege = bigger stretch potential. Not much you do now will change the outcome, but maybe splay the plant out slightly -- without snapping a branch. Try to spread it out along the length of the light as best you can... some graden wire pulling the outer branches further away from center etc etc... if you have to defoliate due to congestions, don't grow that congestion next time. For most phenos, you only need ~3 colas per sq ft to maximize yield. (in ambient co2, figure 50-70g per sq ft is your ceiling for average to above average yielding phenos.) Phenos known for tiny buds may want more branches per sq ft, but again, you don't want a congested canopy, either. i find 3 colas per sq ft gives me good-sized nugs that aren't too large i have to worry about bud rot and disease. It allows great light penetration but still captures all the light (no gaps). I have to do very little pruning or extra maintenance in regard to axial growth or leaves. Everything you cut off the plant is wasted time and resources growing it. Some of it is inevitable to avoid larf, but we can minimize it greatly by improving our methods systematically from grow to grow. If you regularly approach or exceed 50g/sq ft using seeds, you are doing fine in regard to training and any pruning employed. If you use clones of known heavy yielders, you'll blast by that figure by 40% or more. CO2 might add another 25-30% on top of that? conflicting info on the exact amount it adds. As you try new things, this helps you set reasonable goals to strive for. Qulaity is just genetics... no magic product to put lipstick on a pig in that regard.

It looks strange. But if you want to check if your plant is getting enough light, then you could use an app like Photone or something similar. You can determine the daily light integral (that is, how much light hits the measured spot in a day) and see very well whether there's still significantly more light available or if it's better not to. It's hard to tell with the naked eye, but to me, it already looks like "give it more nutrients.

Haha 01011010101 the full manuscript.. . To me it looks like your light was to far away or not strong so your node spacing is massive but could just be genetics.. Those leaves at the bottom are pointless.. up to you to remove or not.. Apart from the node spacing she look really good.. Good luck..

Pick 0100010001… . Did not read complete text, but has to be correct as he wrote the 8th part of Harry Potter in behalf of Joanne K Rowlin 😂😂😂

Actually this more likely due to K problem uptake U,re using too much Mg that leads to K lock, also Ca,P soon

Think it was RQS pot and FB seeds ... ;))) Jokes aside, inner nod spacing is big, distance to light could be smaller during veg time.

Hey 👋 Usually, you adjust the strength and intensity of the lamp based on PPM / Lux... Nevertheless, there's the rule of thumb to keep about 35-40 cm distance between the plant tip and the lamp... Some also tie a piece of string about 35 cm to the lamp, with a screw/nut at the end, to easily adjust the distance without measuring every time. Visually, I would say that the right lamp (by the little lady) is a bit too close. But it could also be misleading. I would raise it a little if possible. Overall, your ladies look good, so it seems to be okay how you're doing it. Hope that helps a bit! Good luck moving forward 👊🍀🖖
