Can someone mtell me if my plant is stretching? I think its about 2 weeks old. Cant remebr when I planted it. Anyways I just put it into flowering yesterday and my 125w red enviro is on its way :) Currently its under a 13w t8 flouro tube :(

It got so tall it just fell over so I tied it up with a pencil :mrgreen:

yeah, it's stretching. the distance of the cotyledons from the soil is your biggest clue that the light is way too far away.

put some more soil in that pot, fill it to the brim so you can try to give that sprig a little support.

Dude, you put that plant into flowering already????
STOP, put the plant back into vegging, get the light(s) as close as possible.
Get a fan blowing across the stem, an oscilating fan so the breeze is not constant. This is enough info for now to get you started....
Come back when you have it about 4-5 weeks old for more info.
Peace

Either start over (best thing to do this thing has is really looking bad) or take it out of flower and lower your light, put a fan on this and let it bush out.

Yeah your kinda screwed.You should have thought this out.The seeds probably cost you more then you ll ever get out of 10 plants growing like this.You need at least 2 feet of grow area above the pot to do anything.The plant stetched as you should have had a 8 buck floro shop light right ontop of it just about touching the leaves for at least 4-5 weeks . A fan lightly blowing on it making the stalk stronger.Then you would have put into flower at -45 weeks probably 8-12 inches tall then 6 weeks flower at 12/12 which the plant will then double insize during the flower session.To bad you wasted those exspensive fem seeds..
