Dear reader, I have 3 plants: the one with the blue badge is looking good but the other 2 are short in my opinion. They have lots of leaves and branches but they are like 12 cm high. Is this a problem? Solution? (Lights higher maybe?) Thanks!

That's good, they have not stretched because they receive a good amount of light and so they don't need to grow more stem. Keep in mind that what's important is that they develop nodes, leaves, side shoots, not stem. A squat plant is much better than a stretchy one, it will be easier to have a flat canopy and you will have much less risk of running out of space; LED bulbs are great for that. I invite you to visit my diaries where I'm using LED bulbs exclusively, they will give you much better results than CFL at a 25% the power draw of CFL. PRO TIP: take the plastic dome off, it will give you quite a boost in their light output.

Hi there ! I think your lights is not too close from your plants , if you put them higher it will increase the stretch ! According to me they are not so short , but if you want your secondary stems to get more light you can still top your plants. If you take a look at other diadies at the same stage , some plants are bigger , some wicker , it's all about the genetics and the setup ! But your strains are Autos so during the next couple week and during the stretch they will get biggers and taller ! I hope it will help you 😁

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :)
Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stageThe canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light?
I am in day 13 of flowering
I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!10 months ago

Auto(not)floweringOne of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently.
I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!
