Beginners mistake: how best to navigate light stress issues for tall plant in a too small tent?
najo91started grow question 5 years ago
We have two autos in 5 gallon pots in a small 24"x24"x48" tent. One of our plants is inches away from the LED grow light and it's experiencing light stress for sure. What can we do to get these plants to harvest as best as possible? We are LSTing now.

Lst is your best option with ladies that have grown too tall ideally you wanna be catching nodes before they go skyward but in a situation like this your gonna just be as gentle as you and get them node bent over... Any breakage is fine and can be repaired with tape. We still wanna be as gentle as possible. Your totally on the right track.. Not a newbie mistake per say as it's a common occurrence in many an indoor grow operation.

Plant taller than it should be by 3ftI have been growing ILGM auto northern lights and they are growing far taller than they should. I plan to try 'topping' my current one (2 weeks old atm) but am wondering if this is the only solution. Ive made changes to my soil and a new light thinking it may be 'stretching'.Plant. Too tall

Has the early stretch ruined my plant at the first hurdle?Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?

How much more she can stretch? Liberty hazeHello everyone. Exactly 2 weeks ago I switched lights to 12/12, I found 1st preflowers yesterday. My question is how much more she can stretch yet? She doubled her size in 1 week, I got like 30cm left for my light. What to do if she won't stop stretching? Can I still supercrop?

I'm almost positive I've been overwatering but what do I do now lol? How do I get my plants to perk up? Do I wait it out? I've also brought my light down 2 and a half feet due to stretching.

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early?
I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since...
