Welcome to the forum.

You’ll need better lighting. Your plant is stretching looking for more light. What are you using for lighting?

Hi @Tas and welcome. Pile soil up to stabilize it for now. As @MidwestGuy said also
Maybe lower your current light to right above?

Looks a little wet, otherwise like everyone else has said. Get that girl some more light.

I lowered the light to 9 inches above the plant. Should the light still be in seedling stage now or vegetation? I have the vivosun fan and light combo in the 18/6 auto recipe setting on the smart Grow controls

I used Happy Frog potting soil and distilled water only so far.

I now have approx. 1.5 inch stem. Is that good?

That looks a lot better :+1:t2:
Good job :green_heart::metal:t2:
As far as the light goes we need more info :thinking:
Model number will help or at least listed wattage.

I’m not The Light Guy but I would turn it up 100% and hang it about 16" above the top of the plant. Read the plant in a couple of days(ie post pics) :green_heart::metal:t2:
Is this the only light you have on hand?

What should the humidity level be at? I’m at 41%

That’s good. I’m fighting 87% :sleepy:

yeah I agree does look drenched water her every 3_4 days

I thought it needed at least 60%

What’s your temps :green_heart::metal:t2:
Don’t chase this, just be in the ballpark

I have been keeping the soil moisture meter around 5, placed approximately 3 inches into the dirt.

How much water do you add every 3 to 4 days? I have a 3 gallon plastic flower pot. Thank you!

This is my current reading.

Thats a useful chart. I’m having RH issues too. Humid climate, straight coco. Trying to keep it hydrated and the tent dry. I need to just get a dehumidifier and put it in the tent. On top of it I’m in a variable climate region. It was 87% today, it’ll be 40% tomorrow.
