Why it matters
A plant that builds its frame quickly captures more light and sets up higher yield, but growth must stay sturdy, not soft.
When it appears
Early season, during canopy build.
How to identify it
- Slow canopy development and weak early growth
- Thin, stretchy stems
- Slow establishment and recovery
How to manage it
- Feed balanced (Vega Pro); push with Grow Boost; keep sturdy with Armour Boost (silicon).
