I popped 2 of these 5 days ago and have left them in the window that is south facing, is it really stretched or is it because the strain is a mexican sativa which i know is a big girl when mature.

I`m not expecting a miracle as i just popped them and have left them too it until i feel like flowering them, then i`ll get them under a HPS (250w). Should i start to LST them now ?


Cheers guys.

just dig her up carefully and repot her with the dirt a few inches under her leaves covering most of the stretched stem..............no pic required :)

They are sooo small...I can't even see 'em! Or am I going blind...I'm blind, aren't I? Don't be easy on me. Give me the truth. I can handle it...I'm bliiiiind. Oh the horror...the pain...the anguish...

^This is correct. And the plants (sativa or not) won't show their "tall" traits yet, I don't think.

generaly roots will only grow up to the place the seed leafs were. But i guess there isn't any harm potting higher

Awwww, the wittle seedling looks so cute. :D Not bad man. Not TOO stretched. A little, though. At least its not bending over yet. I'd throw about 3 more inches of dirt on there. Nice. No worries.

Be happy.

Its a bit stretched just get the light really close, hold your hand in front of bulb , if comfortable for you for 60 seconds then plant will be stoked with it.

It is! We all love it!
You don't want to let it continue getting stringy though.
