Default Tall and lanky plants
Ok guys. I have a slight problem. I've had my plants growing for somewhere around 3 weeks. Both plants seem to have a long stalk with leaves only toward the top of the plants. Is this from overwatering? Any suggestions?

All help appreciated. Thanks.

Your lighs are too far away and they are streching. Lower the lights. How much lighting do you have?

hey if you start your plants indoor with lights close to the plants (not too close) they get bushy. If you started outdoor then just put it in a secluded spot with open sunlight all day. you need to bury them up to the seed leaves, then once they grow like 3-4 sets cut off the seed leaves and bury to the next set. eventually bottom leaves may die, cut them and bury to the next, unless if more leaves begin to sprout out of the nodes.
goodluck

pretty good advice although i wouldnt cut off the cotlydons"seed leafs" just raise the soil level a bit and put in maximum sun to prevent stretching although it could just be the genetics

Wow thanks for the help. The leaves toward the bottom aren't looking near as good as the nodes. Will ship these and bury up to the next set of leaves. Thanks again for the quick response! Will post pics soon.

you should put up a pic if ya can, or did someone already solve the problem for ya?

the only reason i say this is because nitrogen deficiant plants lose their bottom leaves/branches, and it wont stop losing lower growth until you fix the problem.

That's a valid argument... I think I'll hold off on burying them until I get pictures up. Thank you.

Ok so when I visited my babies today... I forgot to take a pic(I think it was alcohol that had something to do with it maybe...hmm) of them. Next visit I will for sure though..assuming I"m not intoxicated. One of the plants has fell over.. Will it grow back upright by itself? Its not the whole plant that fell over..just the top leaves are leaning to one side. I'm concerned though b/c I don't want it dying. Thanks for the quick replies. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

It's light, dude. They need more of it. If it falls over and lays on the ground it'll rot and die. Listen to ol' boy up there and bury it up to the first set of leaves, farther if you need to.

Though if it's in its final area now and its stretching that bad then it is probably a lost cause.

I'm almost positive it's not a light problem.. and I just buried them today. These plants get plenty of sun.. It stormed last night so I'm sure that was the problem.
