lol I would uproot them and start over. Go buy 60$ in lights and make sure theyre low. Thats just gonna spell problems later and be low yielding. And using the sun will take twice as long.

First of all, Miracle grow sucks. Stretch is when the stem is too long for how many internodes there are. Your plants look about 6" long with only one set of leaves. At six inches my plants have about 3-5 nodes depending on strain.

wtf?? why would u uproot (and destroy) them?? Mine stretched...just needed more light (sun for me), lol whatever. I'm just using direct sunlight - dude i move mine around my window sills/balcony to maximise direct sunlight. If i were u i'd bury a good portion of their stem under the soil (up to close to their 2nd node/their true leaves) and either attend to the artifical lighting situation-more and/or closer (not my fortAYYYY), or put them in direct sunlight for longer.

btw mine just have direct sunlight...and let me check....mine have about 6 nodes and are about 3 inchs....

direct sunlight = outdoor grow - the poster has an indoor grow by a window - big difference.

of course - it also depends on where you live - a window grow would be fine where it is warm and sunny all the time.

What's wrong with maricale grow?
Click to expand...
from what i understand -
it doesn't have good drainage (so add pearlite)
it has time release nutes than can damage or kill young plants (so make sure you get the kind without time release nutes)
has some pH issues (so water with pH of 7.4)

Miracle soil necc. isnt bad at all .. there have many succesful harvest with miracle grow. BUT the fertalizers such as the liquids or like the blue powdered garden feeder are not that ideAL .. Too high levels of nittrogen especially when it comes flowering, even though nitrogen is required for a full potential grow. When its flowering use nutes that ar low in first numbers and mildy high on last 2. "0-10-10" etc..etc..etc. Vegatative stage you want levels more evenly. "20-20-20" is often adequate to maintain proper growth.
