I’m not sure if my Opalina is etoliating and I should snip and prop, if this is part of her growth? She’s been under a grow light for 10 hours a day, I have watered maybe once a month?

TIA!

Definitely etiolation. How strong is the grow light? Does she get light beyond that?

Yeah mine has done that too, I really don't need two of them so I'd what to do with it lol

### c.cat kommenterte den 2025-02-05

it looks like etoliation to me, what kind/brand of light do you have?

### Wolfen 🐺 kommenterte den 2025-02-05

It's etiolation. Id check the lights info. Is it full spectrum, is it at least 5-6,000k lumens, and how far away is it from the plant?

I have a 40W Sansi light, says its 3600 lumens and it’s maybe 6” above? Does it need a stronger light?
