1st time grower here. Seedlings are stretched out do to my light being to high. Is there a fix?

The biggest take away should be that there is no magic pill. The key is to optimize the basics.

Yes i rubbed a magic lamp and wished for gardenier genie to do all the work for me. At first shehe was abit reluctant but with much crying and whining on my part genie wore down. Now i get everything done for me instead of me working for knowledge and experience doing it on my own and trying , now it's all being handed to me. Thanks for asking benben Good luck looking for the end of the rainbow.

Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to the world of growing cannabis, and I've been encountering some challenges along the way.
Has someone tried any out-of-the-box methods, strange additives, or peculiar rituals that surprisingly led to impressive yields?

I agree with Bluey. Veg time depends on the size of your tent/grow space and what your end goal is. Stretch(the tripling part) can be controlled by keeping the temp humidity levels the same or slightly higher on lights off as they were on lights on. I did this on my current grow and can confirm that, at least for this cultivar, warm nights will keep your plants from stretching out of control. Obviously there are limits to this and other techniques but it can be done.

You may need to train it well and even top it a couple of times but I'd go as long as you can in veg to fill your space.

In long flowering plants, how many weeks of growth should be given indoors?
I am planting the Cachalote, a variant of the Moby Dick, and I have read here that in flowering the plant triples its size.
I normally give them 2 weeks of growth. Should I give them less time in this type of strains? Is one week of growth from germination enough?

To bad you can't experience a failure to learn by practicing on your first grow. All the infomation is printed clearly and easy to understand right here but you continue to post for acceptance. Still no pictures of the setup or plant. Why?

The whole idea to the low temp/slow dry is mostly to preserve terpenes. Terpenes are layers of films of water with the terpene molecules. When you dry them in temps higher than 72* they will start to evaporate as they are volatile organic compounds. Evaporating terpenes mean less flavor and aroma.

Rootsruler has great advice. The more plant you hang the slower it will dry. When the nugs snap off easily without leaving any string they are ready for jars. You can snap some smaller ones and find bigger ones might need more drying. I feel if they get too dry too fast its too late. If you need to add moisture to your buds a wet paper towel with pure water is better than trying to use those 62% boveda packs imo. They work ok to keep nugs at 62% if moist but I feel they do affect flavor if you try to rehydrate with them. If cured correctly the cannabis ends up at 62 by itself
youre right i am overplanning this. This is my first grow and ive never harvested dried or cured so im planning down to the nth degree to make sure i get it right the first time
Dry and cure is a blend of science and art. You can learn all the science to it but it's going to take a few runs for you to really get the hang of it. Just learn all you can and observe so that your next runs will be better.
I believe dry and cure is just as important as the cultivation part.Last edited by Rootsruler; 10-12-2023, 04:14 PM.
