8 weeks old , all the work and care ,and my plant looks like corn husks.
It's a Blueberry cookie auto
In Happy Frog soil
Under LED
humidity and temps perfect
Feeding it , nutrients Fox Farm , Big Bloom
Tiger Bloom, Grow Big
And this is my 6 grow and I feel something not right.
Opinion needed, advice needed.
Thank you.

I had to switch my “ apparently so called autos too 12/12 indoors “ , and outdoors light was like between 12-13 hours light … autos are good for leaving and not feeding outdoors … but I fucking hate them

Lmao ,YES this sucks ,because I time my harvest between grows to keep my supply up. Now I might be looking at 6 months instead of 4 months and I'm getting low,dammit. Thank you

Give them time, just a green strain is all. Will be beautiful soon. Looks like she might get big too. Keep growin! Your light might have something to do with it.

If it were me, I'd say the problem with the lights. Your Photochrome Stationary State (PSS) is low, causing multiple shade avoidence responses, and photo-morphology.

Low PSS, Shade Avoidence Responses include: stem elongation; reduced basil branching; increased petiole and leaf length, but decrease in leaf mass; apical dominance (Xmas tree); and reduced chlorophyl.

This is caused by an imbalance between Red (R) 650-670) and Far-Red (FR) 705-740, photochrome receptors and the Blue 320-500 cryptochrome that keeps the latter two on a leash.

Blue light regulates various physiological and developmental processes, including the canonical clock, meaning these plants may die and never flower.

Plants need the blue sky. Try a different light system. If you eliminate all other possibilities, what's ever left, however unlikely, is usually the answer.

Thank you for your answer , I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan.
But I'm a simple shower stall home grower.
I use bulbs , LED 15w 1500 lumens each
Equals 12.000 lumens for a 3x3 grow area.
My other several grows have been great.
I send you a photo of my last.
What you said is foreign language to me ,like I said I simply grow for myself ,nothing complicated ,under bulbs.
Maybe you can break it down for me , I don't think the plant will die ,it's healthy , just stalky.

You just need a bulb that is full spectrum. Even if the one you are using says it is, the proof shows otherwise. The corn stalk or Christmas tree shape is apical dominance and is from too much red and not enough blue during veg. The light you're using may be a bloom bulb or just defective.
