Another "stunted or normal" thread request

[ms48130]

I'm on day 33 (from seed) on these two autos (Girl Scout Cookies and White Widow). First time grower here.

For sure I had a nute lockout about 2 weeks ago (about 1/2 way between seed and right now) but they seem to have recovered. Disregard the discoloring of the leaves, as they were victims of the lockout.

It _seems_ that these are decent size in width but not so much in height. I've provided a top-down and side view of each plant.

I'd be interested to know the thoughts of the @Gladiators (or others with something to contribute, if these seem right. Also, I have no idea when to switch to bloom nutes, if anyone could toss me a line. Best I can tell, they haven't exposed their gender yet either.

Thanks in advance!

I would say you need more light and more in the red spectrum.

Thanks. I have (1) HLG 100 V2 LED (100W, 3000K) currently about 24" up - was trying to get them to stretch for the light. It's only a 2'x2.5'x5' tent, and I was to understand that _should_ be sufficient. Another light is not in my budget

As I suspected the light is your limiting factor. Do the best you can and save up for more light. How many hours are you running the lights? I would bump to 20/4.

Even at 12 inches the light is minimal for flowering and the foot print < 2x2.

Well the area I'm lighting to actually 2'x2' anyway, as I have a humidifier and a tower osc fan taking up the other 6". I can certainly bring the light down, but I thought that the light being higher would create more stretch (my misplaced logic...)

I have been running lights 18/6 but for sure can move to 20/4. I do have a couple other plants as well (a Jack Herer Auto @ 2 weeks old, and a JillyBean photo @ 3 weeks old). I figured with the photo in there I should provide some lights off time.

That is not misplaced logic, if the light were stronger that technique would help with the stretch. You are asking that light to do more than it can. I want to run and jump like I am 20 again - guess what that ain't happanin' .

The photo won't flower until 12/12 and the extra light hours won't hurt it. Start manifolding now (See Nebula's Manifold technique on a different forum) and maybe you can tame the photo or it might just get really big?
