I raised the light another foot, going to increase time between waterings. And see how it goes. I just germinated two more of the same seed and will have a couple to compare with shortly. I’m very sciencey, it’s what makes this so fun for me. Going to have a go at making feminized seeds for the fun of it at some point. Posted my colloidal silver setup in advanced techniques section. Appreciate all the comments and input.
She looks fine to me, I've had plants with nodes coming in this tight, its lights in close, not a bad thing though. You could reduce light a little but you aint gotta, she ain't burning. Tight nodes mean your plants growing more leaves which in turn produce more energy rather than wasting energy building stem. There's a long way to go, they'll space out as time goes on and once you switch to 12/12 they'll stretch out into their own space. Your plant looks good mate. Not sure how @Dirtbag thinks that your plant has no auxins? LOL
Did he actually say he'll check his textbook? You need to get your head out the textbook and do some real life growing if you think this is a mutant plant with no auxins.
You don't need to start training yet, let her grow out for a couple weeks.Well I will give her all the love and attention I can, even if she is a stumpy developmentally challenged girl or not. I did first two grows with autos, just to get some basic experience under my belt and learn as much as possible. With this one I was planning on giving a go at trying some low stress training. Then it came out like this and I was like, wtf, how can I start spreading this girl out when it’s so compact to begin with. I appreciate all the input, every grow will be a learning experience and it’s fun.
Different strains grow in a different process. Some Indicas are kind of spindly and tall while they are growing, but by week 8 or 9, they can be 12 ft or more (outdoors...or indoors if you have the room!) and resemble a classic Christmas Tree. A Sativa will start out very thin and slow before it takes off a little later in life. After about 3 months, they are all pretty big, although a lot of newer indoor strains stay short and squat regardless of how they are grown. As long as it looks healthy, I would keep it going...who knows, it might turn out to be a great plant to cross a tall, spindly plant with. But that's a tale for another day.You don't need to start training yet, let her grow out for a couple weeks.
The nodes will spread out later. It's normal bro keep doing what your doing.
@Dirtbag are you an indoor or outdoor man? Cos i think most outdoor growers will probably never see such short plants and lack of stem, the light ain't intense enough outside.
it seems to me its obviously cos hes got such intense light on the plant, I mean he started with 600w, it's barely a seedling and now it's on 1200w. Thats a lot of light, the plant dont need to stretch or reach for light at all with that intensity.
Realistically a seedling/small plant like this will grow with under 200w let Alone 1200w. It's a lot, a lot of light for such a baby plant.
The plant ain't burning though so personally I'd keep it up. I like to get the light as close as possible, sometimes I'll be adjusting light height every morning to avoid burn cos i have them at the very limit of how close they can be.
@Mr.Juice I believe your plants gonna make a real nice canopy when u start training that, id top n mainline or scrog that, but for now id say just let her grow out. I imagine you'll get a nice full dense canopy from that plant in the end
To be fair, I'm not an LED guy. So it's totally possible it's the spectrum from the light doing it. That I would not be familiar with.Ive had a few stubby plants using the blurple leds,dont sweat it.the growth looks great so far,once you flip itll stretch out
@Dirtbag my plants look like your picture when I start them on my windowsill.
