They arent getting nearly enough light. Super stretched looking for more light.

Starving would be the best word. But the reason for the stretch is that they are searching for light.I think begging is a better word

How far should I put the light away from them?

What light is that? Easiest way to figure out correct light is a LUX meter.

For your situation, those plants are so bad, I personally would just start over. Some people would try to finish them out. Up to you.

Among pH testers, loupes, and refractometers, lux meters are a useful tool cannabis growers can harness to ensure optimal plant productivity and health.

I think if she gets the light to the right height it might be good learning experience to grow them out.What light is that? Easiest way to figure out correct light is a LUX meter.

Thats a pretty powerful light, you got it dimmed way down or something? How many hours per day is it on?

I would up it to 100% gradually (5-10% per day) and just run it 24 hours.

Ok Thanks I will do that.

I wouldn’t do 24 only because I feel like the plant needs some rest. I’m sure Joe is trying to make up for lost time. But I would do a min of 2 hours of dark time. I know they say autos don’t need it but a half hour before lights out the leaves go droopy and same before they come on, they start to perk up. The plant knows what time it is!!!! Yikes. I run 20/4
but I agree up the juice on the lights

Ok thanks, I'll definitely up the lights. And go with 2 hours of dark for now

Joe was just trying to get you max results. But I think for the plants sake some dark time is good.

Yeah you can go either way. 18/6 or 20/4 or 22/2 or full 24 hours or 19 hours 27 minutes and 4 hours 33 minutes. Nobody knows the perfect number. My main point was to up the juice but do it over a few days not all at once.

Of course, I turned the light up about 5% now and wait till tomorrow to do more. Also should I lower the light closer to the plants?
