My Nodes Are Too Close Together!

Im Having the same Problem with my gorilla glue would really like to hear how you plant is going now?
Mine is so compact that the leaves are warping against each other and fighting for the light.
Dude it ended up being a male so I tossed it. And it was a supposed feminized GG from Home Grown Cannabis Co...I will never buy from there again, almost every seed I got from that order had some kind of issue.
 
No good man. I’ve had this happen 2 grows in a row. I’m using humbolt.
I was using 2x cheap leds so I thnk the spectrum was is rubbish in them.
just put in the marshydro fc3000 grow light. So hopefully we get some change.
inknow short nodes are good but this is not.

That's exactly how mine looked, got even worse as it got bigger. Mine wasn't a lighting issue, just shitty genetics.
 
It’s healthy man it’s just so weird. I don’t know if it’s genetics or lights that’s thing but 2x in a row 2 different genetics and this has happened.
Hoping when it goes to flower it stretches

Have you topped them? Topping too early can cause that as well. Mine were healthy as can be too, no issues whatsoever.

I topped once when it was on its 5th set of leaves. It has been tiny since the beginning
Bend those branches out. Make them go side ways so they can produce branches that dont get shaded. That plant looks hella sexy. Put some work into her and she'll put some work in it for you :). Lay off the light a bit if you want her to stretch.

What is your feeding schedule like?

When I overfed my teens they grow short and compact similar to your image.

could this still produce quality buds? I mean it’s fed well good light. Just nodes are ridiculously close
Itll produce buds but I don't think its worth the labor, time and expense for a plant that is that compact. Give it some days to let it dry out so that plant can start stretching again maybe?

Yeh sweet. I’ve been trying to bend them out but 1hr later and she’s back to how she was haha. Might invest in some steaks. I was hoping to Scrog but might not be able to.

so should I just pull it. Or turn it now and see how she stretches?

I feed it once a day using 70% coco 30% perlite
Gets less then a 1l a day and is always moist
Keep it in veg state.

Water every other day or 2-3 days and the plant should start stretching for the light.

Give the plant dry backs so that the roots dig deep

Plant seems way to wet by its compact structure. Might need to wait a few days before the next feeding and then every other day once youre on track and then as it gets bigger every day.
