What light, wattage, grow space? 6” is too close unless using CFLs. Closet I’ve seen for LEDs is 12”. ---

I echo what everyone else says, in addition to what happened during my flower stretch: I had 3 plants and I had to get rid of one.

I face a similar problem where I had some limbs get taller than others after I Fimmed. I just bent the taller ones over and tied them down. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/e/9/3e9509379856721aa5caa32a2219afd76134cc82.jpeg) ---
