Lower the light. They're stretching. They look good though.
Thanks for the input. I was wondering if that would help any or not. When I lower them will she start growing out more instead of up?

Is a 45w LED enough to get it through flower?
I hope so haha. I'm working on getting a 300 Watt LED light but nust trying to find a good one that isn't crazy expensive

You can top it if you want to get it growing out more.
Man I've been trying to learn about it and have been researching but so nervous to do it lol I dont want to mess it up and have to start over
I forgot to ask also I started this one over a month ago probably 5-6 weeks total now so is this size okay for that long of time?

I'd get the light closer first and get them a little happier, then top them. Everyone's a little worried about hacking up the plant their first time, but after you do it once, you won't worry about doing it anymore. These are hardy plants.

More light will help it grow faster.
Thanks for the help I appreciate it. I will post more pictures in a week after I lower my lights tonight and see if they are better looking.
Not really. I just went down to take some snaps of one of my veg tents for comparison (400W MH), but my camera is messed up and all my pics are coming out fuzzy. Looks like I need to pull my photography kit from storage.
Either way, hopefully the following will give you a bit of an idea of what a better light can do.
Two plants on the left are five weeks from rooted clone. Two in the back right are autoflowering plants that will go outside, they're ~6 days. Front right are two Sour Diesel plants from seed I'm going to breed, 13 days. Two to the left of that are clones planted 12 days ago for purposes of new nutrient tests.
Here's another pic of the same plants, just a little less fuzzy:
Do you have any suggestions. I should be getting some gorilla glue auto seeds here soon that I'm going to start next harvest, this one I'm doing now is just a test run to try and figure out the kinks before I grow my favorite strains. But any and all suggestions would be helpful at this point.

More wattz
Thanks for the help
Better light, and with more heat comes better ventilation. It's good that you're doing test runs to sort it out.

Is that straight peat or is it a mix?
Right now its just peat
