"extremely stretched" is a stretch

they only an inch high man
I am just going by proportion. The stem looks super thin and very tall in comparison to the leaves. I was just trying to help.
This is what my gal looked like at 1 inch tall

you shouldnt be giving it nutes yet. TOO small. the starter leaves on the plants give it its nutes for the first little while. If you want to give it anything then give it a worm castings tea. it will help darken those leaves up again. my buddy uses worm castings on his plants and sees a difference in green depth right away.

wait until the starter leaves have started to yellow a bit before you give it nutes.

and like i saw someone else say they look stretched. what kind of lights are you using? and how close are they. Im using CFL's for my plants. I can have the plants within inches of the lights and they love it. I have my 6th or 7th set of leaves now and they are only as tall as a BIC lighter. and the stalk is getting thicker each day! make sure to do a hand test with your lights. hold your hand under the lights and if it doesnt warm up too much you can have your plants there.

hope this helps.

Mine stretched within 8 days cos i had the cfls to far away, then i put them to close, and i burnt two leafs on 2 plants, the went dark at the tips,


ive got them within 3 inches of the lights now, they are gettin bigger, but as the guy above said, they just seem to of ground to a slow crawl " growth wise"

im giving them 1.3-2 ml of nutes per litre and my ph " with nutes in the water is 6.0 - 6.4

i have a fan in the grow cupboard wich is my mother cupbaord,

now another thing im worried about is, i have these 4 that i have posted pics on and im gettin 2 female clones on thursday, the ones i have atm are femalised ch9 flower and the clones im gettin are skunk no 11 ( the female version of skunk no1 )

thing is though they yeild different and they have lsighty diff growth rates,

im going to throw them on the hydro flood drain with my ch9 flower and im gna put them all on the same 18/6 light till they are mature enough for flowing, i just hope they are ready for 12/12 at the same time,

also, im gettin lowryder 2 feminised , and im gna throw them in the mother cupboard as they stay short and grow them on cfl's

hopefully, by april, ill be avin a fat smoek-up for my 21st ;)

i stunted my first one too. it will be ok. right now they need to develop good roots. once that happens it will take off again. dont sweat it. mines flying all over again. it was stunted for about 2 weeks from being too cold!

over nute'n and over watering will slow the growth (before it makes them sick or kills them) I learned the hard way. how are you watering those cubes?

. Wow, well i gave them the nutes , left them all of yday as normal with the fan coming on for 30 mins @ 30 mins intervals, lights on 18/6

and i wake up this morning and boom !!!!!!!!!!!

The goddam things were alive !! Its amazing, i checked them b4 i went to sleep at about 3am

i wake up not ten mins ago and the 3rd and 4th little leafs are now huge, and the next 4 leafs are showing so now i got 2 false leafs, and 6 true leafs, amazing,

i think i hit the nute/water mix to perfection, they are amazing, ill post soem pics a little bit later, i got shit to do today :)

and erm, my bubbler stone and my air pump came thru today,

the pump is ok but im not happy with the stone, its 20 cm long but only half is giving out bubbles,

i think im going to get 1.5 meters of air tube, plug it, and pierce holes every 1 cm up it, and put it in a spiral pattern, so it gives of shit loads of bubbles.

Waste of £4 for the air stone, but yanoooo

ya win some ya loose some :)

over nute'n and over watering will slow the growth (before it makes them sick or kills them) i learned the hard way. how are you watering those cubes?

i was turnign them upside down and watering them with a bottle of water left over night,, them puttin them back right way up after and right upder the light, but i decided to fill up a water tight tray to about 1.5 inches with nute/water and placing the plants in there, the rockwool soaked it right up
