Node spacing

[grow jo]

Is it possible to have node spacing too close? I have a 2week old plant that has 6-7 sets of leaves but is about 3-4 in tall i mean you cant even see the stalk or branches at all looks like a pile of leaves really, and its really healthy i was just wandering.

yeah its fine 100% normal , if your worried about the nodes getting light in flower , just do some low stress training and expose them to light , but from what I can see they she is doin fine

Pure so what your saying is try to push some of the big fanleaves differnt directions to allow light to the stalk.

he more meant get a bit of string, tie one end around a stem and then gradually pull the stem towards the ground so it exposes parts of the plant to light that would normally be in the shade

holy crap, looking good for 2 weeks old.... whats the light hours?

a 24/0 light time will keep the nodes closer together....

I float between 18/6 22/2 light hours, yeah I know call me old fashioned..... but it controls the spacing a little better, its really a personal chioce, I wouldnt use 24/0 ever... but really its upto you. If your worried decrease your light hours to 22/2 or 20/4.. this will stretch them out a little more.....

usually when the plant flowers it strecthes out giving the plant plenty of space to flower..... I really dont think its an issue, mate they look fantasic.

a half strength nute would in order very soon I would say....

I've had the same thing happen, once mine got to about 30cm the nodes got further apart. (I think I changed from 24/0 to 18/6 also)

 

Plants lookin real nice mate, don't forget flowering pics

i too was worried about this

but all u have 2 do is just wait and it will even itself out a bit in flower

also tying like Pure and WDC are saying is always going to be benefitial...

 

take care

love those healthy suckers u keep pumping out..

peace out

They look to be very healthy, tighter node spacing makes for a stronger healthier plant which in turn means a higher yield at harvest time.

Hey , thanks everyone for your answers, and Skunk i use 21 on 3 off have since they were little girls fresh out of the ground dont plan on changing it ,but ive never had a plant with node spacing so close its new for me ive had them with good spacing not streched you know but these are tight, i think its the new soil mix buddy gave me the recipe.
