I’d lower the light till you can get a better one, and you need to bury some of that stem with more soil so less is above ground. Good luck 🌱

Seedling growth rate
Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?
Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest? Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching? Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?
My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?
