Big gaps between nodes?

[doko420]

19 day from seed, seemed to be growing quite well , it just seems to me that's theres too big of a gap between nodes is normal ?

What light are you under? What is the distance between nodes on the main stem?

Sf2000 and the gap is maybe like 3 inch

The internodal distance is dependent on genetics and light intensity. The side branches will get stretchy if they are shaded out by upper growth and/or if they are competing with other branches for the light.

**plant growth hormones regulate the internodal distance. These are naturally created by the plant to regulate its growth according the environment, nutrients, light, etc...**

What is your light distance and power?

I had an SF2000. It should be fine at 24 to 30 inches above them in veg. More than than three feet and they might stretch. I'd say it's likely genetics unless you're real far away with the LED.

Bring your lights a little bit closer.

Have the light at about 18 inch 40 percent power , I've slowly increased the power as the days go on, currently full power.

I've been using a lux meter on my phone to dial in the lumens instead of just doing X distance with X power.

Been following this guide: https://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/cannabis-lighting/

So I've been keeping it around 40k lumens in the middle of the canopy during veg. For me it's 18" at 70ish percent.

Nice training.

Nice training.

Agreed. I just started LST after topping my girls yesterday and I'm hoping to eventually get something like that lol.
