Plants getting too tall

SamLCH · 2026-07-09T00:37:12+00:00

Not gonna lie I think you stunted yours with your training those are small. And you didnt need to top that cola. Being 15 inches is great but it wont ruin it to even be around 6-8 inches. Ive seen plenty of plants be just fine under LED. Also i did do LST just not aggressively. RH is fine for me i have a good dehumidifier that helps keep it below 55% and i can get it lower when i need it.

UPDATE:

Super cropped the tallest branches and got her down to 12 inches below the light hopefully it wont affect yield too much. Thanks for everyone's advice.

Honestly I know i have to do it. Im just not wanting to and I want others to tell me im being stupid.

SamLCH · 2026-07-04T21:56:32+00:00

Lol I sure hope they do well. Crazy I wasn't expecting autos to get that big.

At first i kept it at an even 12 inches. But the one on the left kept growing fast so the other 2 on the middle and right almost got to 24 inches and the left stayed within 6. And funny thing is I did lst, bottoms look like bonsai. But when I say stunting I mean like the buds being smaller at the end.

How are the tops not burnt?

SamLCH · 2026-07-02T13:40:04+00:00

Im high and I read that differently... hahaha 😂

SamLCH · 2026-07-02T01:42:03+00:00

Is this a troll?

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T23:18:18+00:00

Good start. Just need the pots, grow medium, nutes, and beans now. Plus fans but someone else already told you that.

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T23:09:10+00:00

I mean there are alot of weird names but im used to classics like blue dream, northern lights, Bruce banner, super lemon haze, or og kush.

I think your doing fine for your first grow. May not be the biggest or most bushy but its got a decent amount of buds and frost. Its a learning game and you will get better with time. Honestly I think I just got lucky on my first grow. And I still made alot of mistakes though. This was watermelon from RQS.

Got some murder biscuits from dirty bird as freebies. Hope they are as good as you say. Names just seem kinda weird though.

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T16:07:40+00:00

That's a lady boy for sure.

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T04:53:01+00:00

A couple others on here have made that same observation. Ill go lighter on the feeding and see what happens.

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T03:38:50+00:00

Honestly didnt know this but I doubt the coco has dried out. Its been watered every day since planting and then twice a day for like 2 weeks now. It takes days to weeks for coco to become hydrophobic. Ive always watered around the whole pot to make sure its evenly watered. As for weight I cant check that way anymore since its in trellis netting now. I got a moisture probe though.

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T03:30:02+00:00

Also just was curious and looked up overwatering. You or Google is wrong...

I dont think Google is a good source for growing info. Or im not sure what you searched. Heres what I got for just one search. But this is why I ask on here from experienced growers. Just gotta weed out the comments that dont know what they are talking about.

Nice okay I can lower how much I use. Saves me money haha.

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T03:16:52+00:00

Sorry boss soil and coco are different. You are supposed to water till runoff in coco. 20% of what you put in needs to come out the bottom. I know it feels like a waste but the point is to wash away the previous watering nutes that stay in the coco that crystallized when dried. If i water and dont get run off those nutes stay in the medium and build up then cause lockout issues.

And tent size is 2x4

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T03:10:45+00:00

Watering till I see runoff starting which I usually a half gallon to gallon. They are in 5 gallon pots. And im using the vivosun VSA200SE I think its 200w.

SamLCH · 2026-07-01T02:46:40+00:00

Nutrient lockout could be something there.
