Hey RIU,

Growing some Reserva Privada OG #18 :mrgreen: germinated 6 FEM seeds, 4 spouted within a day, 1 didn't sprout, and I somehow lost 1, literally.

Ive grown before in soil and had great results this time decided to go hydro.
Anyway this is my first hydro grow and I planted the seedlings in rockwool so I could later transplant to WaterFarm units. The only problem is the healthiest one is stretching like crazy.

My question is should I worry about this and is there anything I could do to fix the problem?

ALL advice is greatly appreciated as always.
Thanks bigbudbongsmilie

Put the light closer.. if you can plant it down under soil/hydroton/perilite it would root off the stem. If not I'd start over with the lights much closer, just don't burn them with heat.

i figured it was either due to low light or high heat any advice on correcting the issue without using soil i want to grow it hydroponically

Lots of variables here, what kind of light are you using? If it's a florescent get it to within 1 to 2 inches if it's HID lower it till about 12 to 18 inches above. Let the seedlings go a bit if you’re going to try SomeGuy15's advice allow three sets of leaves before burying any part of the stem just keep it supported until you transplant
