Rows of branches compact

This isn’t a major problem but just checking on something. The growth is going well on the 5th week. There is no separation between rows of branches. There is good healthy growth of leaves but they are all bunched up. Is this normal?


Looks absolutely natural, in time those branches will grow past the big fan leafs. She is doing great keep up the great work :+1:

Looks beautiful and healthy!

Short distance in between nodes is a good thing

Yup looking good. Keep up the good work.

Healthy, as stated but you can try to make it “stretch” a little more by raising your light height or reducing power.

They will stretch both in sideways shoot length as well as distance between nodes.

Mine all start out with short node spacing and then end up looking like this.


Very reassuring. It’s already starting to smell a little bit and it’s only in veg. I can’t do a carbon filter because it’s in a closet not a tent. Any suggestions with that?

I dont think you have any issues, but if you want your plant to stretch you can turn down or raise your lights.


Mine start the same way no worries plant looks healthy and happy. As others stated if you want more spacing raise the light or if light has dimmer lower the intensity. a lot of people over think when growing. Don’t overthink too much listen to your plants when they begin to show signs of something wrong that’s when to take action. Also if growing photos remember to top after fourth node for a bushy plant. Also look into lst to further enhance your yield.

If you put a carbon filter and inline fan in the closet (dump it into the attic or outside) and keep the CFM high enough it will create a negative pressure and the smell essentially wont be able to leave the room. You’ll just need to make sure you’ re bringing in enough fresh air from an undercut in the door to change the air quickly. The carbon filter will scrub the air going into the attic or outside so that doesnt smell. Opening the closet door will allow the smell to escape though.
