Light spectrum and stress
SambaSeedsCEOstarted grow question 5 years ago
By switching between LED spectrum: Would the plants stress out ?
The veg spectrum only was producing too much stretch due to lamp being not close, imo. So started using both spectrum and the light intensity is way higher now.
Also they get some sun light due to tent position.

OutForRealanswered grow question 5 years ago
It is not supposed to stress her that much as many lights have that veg/Flo switch button . However the light intensity will be higher because most of the times the veg spectrum is draining 50% of the power or a bit less and The Flo spectrum is the 50 others so with full power it should be better to limit the stretch.
Purple lights are also known to keep plants short so your full power will help with the height

Stretched?First time grower here. My plan was to keep these on my windowsill for 2 weeks before I move them outside for my outdoor grow. With them starting to look leggy, should I stick to the plan, or move them out early?Weather is currently cool 14c with intermittent sun.

Is it normal for my flowering plant to look so thin and stretchy??I kicked her into 12/12 schedule about 2 weeks ago. I’ve seen some pics of other plants about 2 wks into flowering and they look big n bushy as heck. Wondering if I’m doing anything wrong. Haven’t updated my diary yet but I plan to soon. Any help is appreciated

Weak and too long stalk?Stalk looks to be very thin and weak. The head (leafs) seems to be kind of too heavy for the plant. It was very long too but I added some more soil for more stability.
There was a short time without sun because I was not at home.
It doesn't looks like other people's plants.
Is it all fine?Week 4

Plant too tall solutionI already know it's because it didn't had the light for around a week (I was away) and that I should repot it and burry it up to it's cotyledons. - I don't really want to do that, because it's 8L pot and the plant is really delicate.
Is it okay what I did?
