Hi!
I am doing this 1st time in my life.
I have two plants 6 week and 4 week young.
I know I did something wrong at the beginning with lights (too fare from plants)
And now they are around 12'' and 8''.
Are they will grow much higher? If ya then what can I do with plants to grow in width.
Those plants are auto flowering ,female, and the name is Moby Dick.
May be somebody has experience with.....?
Thanks.

Snip the tops, let those grow and do it again. Or take a string tie it 3/4 up on stem and pull it 90 degrees. If it's stiff do it 15min at a time. Even if u crack it you'll still be ok. Had it happen a dozen times and the plant won't be harmed or set back. Use the back of your hand and get those lights down close. When it's warm lift it up a bit or two and cinch it off. Lift the pots every day. Don't water until they're light as hell. Probe the soil to the bottom with a blunted instrument once a week to loosen the rootball and provide areation. Stay away from the trunk. You'll be posting kick ass budporn before you know it

I'll add get some N in them too they look a little light, a good feeding after topping makes them recover faster.

I am a new grower and experiencing some problems early on...I have 5 clones that are only a week and half old they have been potted for roughly 5 days, I am having issues with yellows spots??? I messed up by feeding them nutrients a couple times when they need to be fed water for first 2 weeks. But I'm having real issues with one of them I've attached a picture. If somebody could help me diagnose the problem would be much appreciated.

I feed my clones soon as I plant them, yours look fried from too much food and have ca: mg def with the purple streaks.

Right except for the part where you said snip it, these are autos if you top and auto you're losing weight. Personally have never grown one but when a plant grows from seed to finish in 90 days topping it is like taking 2 weeks of growth away.

Do not top autos. Autos have a set lifespan and topping can severely effect yield with an auto

than how can I get them to grow width?

Autos pretty much are what they are. Some autos can take alittle lst to widen up but that may also effect your yield. My suggestion just try to keep It alive and healthy til harvest time since its your first grow. Once you get a grow or 2 under your belt then you can start trying some more advanced techniques

Sorry my mistake. Autos are too delicate to be doing what described.
