Thank you. What causes them to be so tall but still so small and juvenile? The light is hard to come by around these parts but im determined to grow without another light source (mostly because im stubborn).it seems they are trying to grow but for 6-7 weeks they look extremely light deprived and very stretched.
Is the stretch a bad thing? Realistically?I’d recommend the cfl or t5 shop light closer to the plant. That will minimize the stretch.
No, some plants can grow as tall as 8’ though, specially outdoor. But it is good to allow that stem to bulk up so it is able to carry the weight. It all comes down to your space limits.Is the stretch a bad thing? Realistically?

Can you explain what you mean by a couple days in the shade to harden them?Welcome, i know a guy that does a window grow just like those and they come out great, like christmas trees. Couple days in the shade to harden them and then a summer of sunlight. Good luck
See thats healthy as hell. But again, i have little control over my environment. They are house plants but not necessarily an indoor grow in such terms. No hydro, lights, or tests for nutrients. Just a good old fashion home grow with water and soil. Because im not in my native california, i dont have much sunlight right now and im trying to work with what ive got.I am no professional but I wish the vets would chime in. I start with light pretty close and slowly move higher as I see the main stem bulk up. This is what I do personally. Others may have some advice. Here’s my trunk at 29 days.
One major issue is overwatering. We have all made the mistake. It’s really easy to over water. Let your soil dry out almostSee thats healthy as hell.

In total i have 27 seedlings, 2 different seeds. My house ranges between 62 and 72 degrees so its a little chilly, im aware. They get watered about every other day but im thinking of reducing that to every 2 or 3 days (im noticing some drooping leaves. Indicator?).
Realiatically, this is an experiment for me that im really excited about. Im not going to make money off this grow. This is all me lol but i want to yield well, have healthy plants, and sustain myself. All the help is welcome but id like people to remember that i am a novice farmer and id like to keep it as simple as possible.
see THATS the kind of info i need THANK YOU!One major issue is overwatering. We have all made the mistake. It’s really easy to over water. Let your soil dry out almost
Completely before watering again. That’s what I have learned from the vets here.
I don't want to discourage you but you'll need more light and some nutrients, if you want to keep them healthy. I grow in veg under florescent tubes t5 type are best imho. this is a pic of a 6 week old plant in veg I've topped multiple times to keep her short. You're in the right place for help lots of good folks to assist your grow.see THATS the kind of info i need THANK YOU!
Yes, if you put them in the shade for a couple days they get accustomed to natural daylight gradually, otherwise the sun is too bright and stresses them, they wither up.Can you explain what you mean by a couple days in the shade to harden them?
A fan may be useful in getting some air moving around your plants and might help strengthen those stalks, it may cause your soil to dry out a bit faster as well.How can i encourage stalk health?
