Are these too tall?
jgdiaz81started grow question 4 years ago
Hey all! Was wondering if these are too tall and if so, what can I do. Sprouted 4/15. Followed light company’s recommendations on distance and brightness to a T. Using 2 Viparspectra 1000W LEDs in a 4x4x7 tent.

Yes looks like you could definitely lower your light I would lower it like 6 inches and back away as you see fit but I think 4-6 inches Lower will really help strengthen them up! Good luck 🍀👍

they're searching for light, i think you should lower the light i'd always put it 60 cm away from the 240 real wattage from wall led. Hope it help you, happy growing

Yes they have stretched a bit to get closer to the light so you could get the light closer to them t stop them from stretching.

Getting a little leggy yes
Need more white/blue spectrum light, the lack of it is the main trigger for stretch.
Plant "thinks" its not in the sun and so grows taller to do so. Plants are VERY competitive.
Either lower the lights a tad to increase it or add some to it.

Shall I Start Over? XS2000 60%@26”Should I start this one over? I find that it is too tall. I am going by my lights (XS2000) instructions but I find contradictions everywhere I turn when looking for proper distances, ppfd values, etc. Some run these lights closer to their plants at 100% the entire time. 😳

What can i do now to keep my plants down?So they grow about 9 cm over night 😲 I'm starting to worry,
that they will get out of control with stretching (Landrace strain).
What can i do now to keep them down. Can I top them now in flowering stage?
Continue with LST? More light?

How long into the flowering phase do plants stop stretching?Title says it all! This plant is already so much taller than either of the plants I grew the first time around. I still have some room in my tent to accommodate a little bit more height - just not THAT much more.
Which week of flower will do plants typically stop stretching?Week 6

This plant is way to tallI am growing in a basement and one of my Sativa plants is over 5 1/2 feet tall. I can move the light another 4-5 inches up- but that's it. I was worried about this plant so I flipped her a few weeks ago- and boy did she stretch. I am scared shitless of topping her.
