Hi my auto flowers are in about week 4 out of their 8 week seed to flower time. During the first week they stretched a lot because I had my light too high and the stems were so weak I had to pile up dirt to hold them up. They got a tad stronger after moving the light closer. I started training them yesterday and the stem is still very week. Any suggestions? Should I stop training? They are bent(from training) and still wobbly in the soil.
Weak stems falling over
- Thread starter Sdrizzle
- Start date
Any tips on how to train better? I was trying to expose the bottom flower sights

2/3rds of a foot or 2 or 3 feet? Those should be probably 18-22 inches away from the top of plants.

Do you have a fan blowing on them? If not add one and it will strengthen the stem. Don't let it blow on them too hard but a gentle breeze will be helpful.

Lights should be 18" from the top of your plants.
I'm running a 560W G8 LED C2 and its 10" from my canopy. And my LST isn't even above 80⁰
You can move lights closer
