contrapunk
started grow question 6y ago
The Two mainline branch seems to have more girth than the main stem. Any reason why the stem isn’t growing at the same rate?

Wow, that looks like a weightlifter. Don't worry - I'm sure the stem will follow... soon it'll look like a proper trunk.

As your mainlines get more weight/size the stock will thicken.

Day 37 - Main Stem Split in Half on Manifolded Plant: Is the Plant Salvageable?
The stem on one of my manifolded plants has split in half at the base. I tried to salvage the stem by using garden tie knot with a zip tie to bring the halves back together. Is this going to kill the plant or is this plant salvageable? Thank you for your advice.

¿¿Que debería hacerle a la planta ??
Le están saliendo tallos por abajo pero no les da la luz porque la planta tiene cuatro hojas grandes que tapan toda la planta. ¿ creéis que debería quitar las 4 hojas y abrir la planta por abajo o cortar los tallos de abajo y centrarme solo en la parte de arriba ? Le hice FIM THX

Mold on stem (outdoor)
Hello guys! One plant of a friends outdoor grow is looking not so good. On two stems there are spaces without bark, and on one spot is even some mold. Almost looks like someone removed it with a knife. Any diagnosis, tips or other help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Are they on time?
Hi there! What do you think about my plants? It's my first grow and I have no idea if they are doing good or are too slow to be at the end of the fourth week. Does it mean starting from tomorrow they are already in flowering time? Thanks! Cheers
