Aye, thought I would help some peeps out that have questions about how to deal with a super stretched out seedling. Lol, I have made many a mistake but I learned this trick and hope it will help
Replant Those Long Stretchy Stems ( Its Easy )
- Thread starter goten
- Start date
Let him find out the hard way.......I learned my lesson lol. When it comes to nutes less is always better wait until u see at least three true leave sets. Start of at a quarter of strength of dose according to your cycle . Gradually work your way up to half strength then only up if u see a deficiency and feed according to a fix for the deficiency. Over wise you will cause plenty of lockouts and pH issues and your plant will not hit it's pinnacle and you will be stuck with shitty yield and shitty smoke regardless of your genetics it's the grower that makes the plant not the plant. If you have someone with experience trying to help u listen to them they been down the same road and made the same mistakes,if u listen to people who know the drill already you will save a lot of time money and plants.
Light plus roots is a big no no keep them covered and dark red beer cup would be way more appropriate
I would ditch the m.g. it can work in a pinch but is missing many micro nutrients . Jacks line of nutes is very cheap and gives you very nice. Buds.i like Jacks classic Jacks bloom and Jacks citrus. Thierry is a trick to the three if you would like to know more feel free to message me. I am not a spamer just a guy who likes good bud without dropping loads of cashThanks for the info. I'm a newbie grower I have a few seeds from bags and figure what do I have to lose? I have about ten seeds from all different bags/strains. I have one plant that is growing nice but I did notice it's leggy so thanx for the tip! I will be replanting tomorrow. They like acidic soil, right? I have been using a little miracle grow acid formula.. I use it for veggie gardening so I think it should be safe. Also, the other two seeds I planted are a lot smaller than the bigger one. I planted three seeds on the same day. Then I planted a few here and there. I planted the last one Sunday. I have six more but I'm gonna g I've them away. I live in Michigan. Do you think I will have enough time to grow before harvest? Also, I just realized that my tree was blocking the plant's Sun, so I just moved it. I'm just hoping for a decent yield. Any other advice would be so welcomed. Thanks.

this is a bad pheno of Grizzly P.K I tossed out.
Hashbar og

I think I know what your saying though with alot of crystals and it still didn't get you high because the THC composition/profile making it up was different on different phenotypes. Kinda like That Grizzly Purp K I had looks fairly crystaly and chunky but it doesn't get people medicated like it should or as I wanted

Appreciate the OP.
First time grower, and I had 7 shoots over 4" tall with nothing but the first four leaves.
I had them started in fiber starter cups, so I just dropped them in quart-sized containers and added more potting soil.
We shall see...

They're stretching for more light, what are you using?

If a seedling is tall but its very strong why would this length be a problem, even if they got to 3-4 inch at this early stage?
every plant reaches towards light inorder to grow cannabis is a plant that really enjoys lighting, much like full sun plants.
if it continues to stretch without anyone taking measures to fix the problem eventually it will become so tall and lanky it will not be able to support itself
therefore you need to transplant put the plant in snug and lower your lighting or in the case of cfl growing attain proper cfls or more lights

I know this is an old thread, but some people have asked how to apply this principle to rockwool. It can actually be very easily done.
What you do is take a rockwool cube the same width as the one your plants are growing in, and cut off a 1 or 2 inch section of it. Then make a vertical slice about halfway through this square piece of rockwool, from one edge to about the center. Pull the cube apart slightly to spread this cut, and then place the rockwool square on top of the cube with the stem sticking out of the middle of the square. Use toothpicks to anchor the square to the top of the cube, water the new top, and you're good to go.

Good thread. I've seen so many people try to start seedlings in a window in the middle of December and complain that they're falling over. Then I notice they're three and a half inches tall.
