Stem not growing as fast as the branch
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.

Accidental stem bend
I accidentally cause a break in one of the cola's stems. Just wondering if folk with experience could say if this is likely to be a problem and if so how much of a problem? Was thinking I could put some Rhizotonic dilution in a spray bottle to help her recover?

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical Storms
I live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy. I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?

What i do with her?
Ola growmies. O que fazer com esta Royal Gorilla? Teve um inicio de vida lento em relação às outras, as primeiras duas folhas ficaram coladas durante algum tempo. Pensei que com o tempo ela ia desenvolver-se normalmente mas tem 34 dias e tem este aspeto com alguns pelos a nascer.

How could I improve recovery chances of a broken/folded seedling stem?
My light accidentally fell on my seedling and broke the stem right below the first set of leafs. The stem, however, did not break in half but it folded over. I have added support to keep it straight. Is there anything else I could do to improve her chances of recovery?

Mashrooms and Plants Height
Is the height of the plants too much? They seems too high and weak. As you can see in the pictures I have to remove mashrooms every day, I reduced humidity value down to 55% and I keep open the room window and closet door to ensure air recirculation. Is it so bad?

How long until she dies?
How long until a seedling dies? This autoflower bent outside and I’m hoping she will survive. She hasn’t turned brown yet. First pic is damage. 2nd pic is right after. Third pic is today. It’s been about 24 hours and she’s still green... a little yellow though.
