OK so plants above is about 5 weeks old, and she stopped grwoing upwards and is only getting bushier. I use low stress training since im a first time grower but i dont know why its only gettting bushier and not growing up. The colas are very short and not growing. Why can this be?

Growing in coco coir with GHE flora Nutrient series.
7 L fabric pot
Water every 24h with right ph and nutes + cal mag
18h light 6h day but sometimes i accedently forget to turn it on and off

what's the strain ? photo or auto ? if auto it's too early. if photo it's still in veg. get a timer and get your light sched settled down proper.

There are 5 reasons why cannabis plants stop growing are:

1. Seeds are of low quality
2. Root Health is weak
3. The plant is not getting enough sunlight
4. Overwatering is too dangerous for plants
5. Calcium Deficiency

You have to take some active steps to avoid these problems in your plant, So it grows perfectly

you've tied it back. it's frustrates them and makes them grow outward. once they get past an obstruction they turn up.
the point of any training is to flatten the plant out and even the canopy.

not sure how you've trained it. can't really see. you should get a timer. plant looks good.

My GZ was a short bushy plant too, didn't stretch much during flower either. But she made some nice nugs!

Ok, so... LST is meant to trick the plant to think that there is no single leader. When you pull the leader down, the rest think it's an equal. This is how LST works. Science yo! It's doing exactly what you want it to do. Have some patience, they will go up but let it do its thing. Lst is a building process. You need to build a foundation to put up the building

Thanks man!

I’ve had some strains react negatively to a light with too much red spectrum when they are young. Sometimes they quit growing in a similar way to yours. I started using a different spectrum light and that problem went away. Also happened when it was a little too cold. Just thoughts..
