1st time grower

Do you have a picture? Is it leaning toward the light? If so can you turn the lady? Are you running a fan on her? I don't think you can do much harm if you go ahead and give her some support if she needs it.

Gotta agree, i had one that was stretching towards the light so i lowered it a bit and have it some support and now it holds itself up, good temporary solution till it can stand on its own, good luck!

Here's a picture I think she is leaning towards the light

I think I would try lowering the light to reduce the stretching. Try and find that sweet spot. Also, when you transplant, you can bury a lot of that stem.

It's is a one gallon pot right now. Would a 3 or 5 gallon pot be the next step?

I've been using 3 gallon smart pots, mostly because of spacing.

Do you complete your grow in the 3 gallon pots? Just wondering if i need to transplant my 3 gallon into a 5 or if it'll be alright

My very first grow was with 2 three gallon smart pots in a 2 x 4 tent. I did a long veg, and when in flower took up most of the available space.
The grow I'm doing now will be 3 three gallon smart pots, but I will be doing a much shorter veg.
Three gallon works for me, but it all depends on the space, length of veg, how many plants, and just about all the other stuff that we don't think about until something unexpected happens.

This is the 2x4 tent with 3 three gallon smart pots with clones, first week veg.

Looking good man!

What type of lighting are you using?

What type of lighting are you using?

In the flower tent I'm running Mars II 400 and Mars Pro II 160. In my veg tent, also 2x4, I'm running Mars Reflector 144.

My pleasure, Jon. Happy growing

I'm a little concerned about the leaves. It looks kinda like they're growing faster than the stems. Is this normal? Do they still look healthy?

 

[Driller2500]

I veg out my plants with 600 watt led 12 inches from plants and they bush out instead of up

Six inches tall three half weeks from seed

 

[Jonthebeastn]

Oh ok thanks for the tip I was still looking for that sweet spot. Does the overall health look good?

My opinion something is missing flora micro is good but use the grow with it and I bet it will make a difference during veg I use cal/mag to make water 100-150 ppm then I use micro and grow that should be all you need to veg them then in flower you will need micro bloom and potassium and a touch of grow but not important just how I do it and if they look like something is wrong I put H2O2 in the nutrient water always seems to fix the problem but if you see them getting worse do PH'ed flush
