Ok im new to growing and was given 100+ seeds from a friends HERMIE that he found in his last crop of EUPHORIA.. i germinated them in just 1 day and planted but they just didnt want to give up their seed pods and kept getting higher.. since the pods broke off they havent gained much height just some great looking leaves.. are these plants stretched? will i come across problems with these or will they be ok? sorry for being such a n00b but any advice or anything very much appreciated...

added pics.....

yeah they sound like they a bit streched but dunt sweat it, just bury the extra stalk to suport the plant and itll be fine. What lights u got on em? How far are they? Good luck mate and happy growing :joint:

ooh yeah thay are stretched. Move the cfl's as close to the top of the plants as possible and when you transplant, bury the stem

kinda what i had in mind. ive read LOTS on site here about lighting and have had the lights pretty close to the plants since. as i say they havent grown in height but just been producing some lovely leaves now. i was just worried about the length of the plants stems..
i guessed id have to wait untill i re-pot them and put them in a deeper pot. thanks man.

You could add soil into the containers now or move some already there around the stems. They might start to collapse very soon so dont wait for something to go wrong. I would recommend a transplant soon.

Its a lot easier then you think...just let them dry out a day or two.... roll pot in hand or run a knife gently around soil.. I like to use a big spoon, and just scoop out...
Its easier now, then when roots are more spread out..thats when tearing is a big risk.... :leaf:
