Re: Are my babies stretching alittle?

They are fine. when you transplant them make sure you burry them deep. Almost all the way to to the first leaf set and they will then thicken up quite nicely. They are good healthy sprouts!

Dude, fucking relax, I wasn't dissing you, I wasn't even saying that I've grown longer than you, all I was saying is that I know how much sunlight their getting and it's not the sunlight that's making them stretch

Edit: and Dude, stop being so rude, it makes you sound like an ass. No offense by that. I'm not trying to start a fight with you. I'm a chill guy, hell I'm even taking a shit while I'm writing this

Re: Are my babies stretching alittle?

i had some seedlings do that also.
problem was....i started them way too early. they stretched out hella. and started budding in the first month of summer.
i got some 1 foot tall plants with little ass nugs.
BULLSHIT

now i start my seedlings in the week before summer starts and they do just fine.

Re: Are my babies stretching alittle?

Frosty,

Mine stretched for a while this spring too. It was partially due to the poor weather we had this spring, but they also needed more sunlight.

When you transplant them, make sure you drop those stretched stems a little further into the soil. I honestly don't think that the stretching you have is an issue though. Just make sure they are getting enough direct sunlight. You said you are getting 10 hours of direct sunlight a day? If that is true, I really can't say why they stretched. I have actually heard that a little stretching isn't bad for the plants. A little extra space between the nodes isn't detrimental for your plants success.

Here are a few things that can fix/prevent stretching...

1. Increase sunlight.
2. Bury the extra stem if they have stretched.
3. Reduce the amount of nitrogen they are getting (I am assuming you haven't even added nutes yet).

Note: If you are going to try to burying the extra stem, do not water near the stem for a while. Excess moisture around the newly buried stem may cause stem rot. Water around your plant.

Yet you don't know what a stretched plant looks like? Seriously, its common sense. 10 years in the game and you haven't picked up any info. on this type of thing? Try a new hobby... you'll end up in jail.
