is there anything i’m doing wrong with these stretched seedlings ?

[marissa59420]

there are 2 plants both stretching , originally didn’t worry much but now it’s starting too lean with the new leafs coming in and i’m scared it’s just gunna fall over lol , i didn’t plan on transplanting yet i just wanted too see if you all think they will live or need more care ?

Just fill the top of cup with soil and transplant in a week or so. When you do, bury stem right up to tiny leaves, cotyledons.

you could put the light closer to them, and a fan would build the strength on the stem. but as Dboybudz mentioned, put soil in to fill the cups up, pressing gently around the stem to firm the soil around them. eventualy they will develop roots all the way up the stem you cover with soil

What they said.

More light, preferably full spectrum

Whats yoir light and how far is it? Get a ppfd phone app turn to lux.


Quick Guide – Lux Levels for Optimal Cannabis Growth Life Stage< 000 lux – sparse or “stretchy” growth – plant isn’t getting enough light 15,000 – 50,000 lux – a good amount of light for healthy vegetative growth 45,000 – 70,000 lux – the optimal amount of light for cannabis plants in the flowering (budding) stage. If grow lights produce a lot of UV light (such as LEC), stay on the lower side of this range 70,000 – 85,000 lux – a lot of light, some strains thrive at this light level, but some plants (especially auto-flowering and Indica strains) lose their top leaves early under this light intensity. At these levels, lights need to be kept further away for healthy growth > 85,000 lux – at this light intensity, you’ve hit the plant’s “saturation point” which means your plant can’t use all the light (most strains will experience light bleaching or other major signs of stress at this level!)

Best advice!

They still need better light or they'll just stretch again .

Yes. Slowly sneak them outside?

And they'll have a small number of large leaves and a smaller number of stems that are thin and weak. When you see tall plants with this those characteristics, it probably an indicator of a plant that didn't get much light. No doubt, yield and quality are diminished as well.

Light is the only way that plants can generate food so low light = not much food.
