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.

I found out, my DWC system wasn't stable. This caused to much difference in temp/EC and PH. Now I"m sure I found the solution but, do you think I need to start over? 2 look very very bad. See pictures. I made 1 picture of each plant in te last serie. See the difference.

How am I doing?
It is my first growth, I'm fine even with 20g x plant. Unfortunately the last weeks have been quite cold and cloudy. Hope to be still on track. ->The stem seems quite small... so I had to add some earth as there was wind as well.

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

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?

My second plant is really a midget compared to the other one. Should i be worried? Hello! Growing this Wedding Cake Auto for 10 days, and it's 2 times
Same environment for both plants. Spaces between branches are super narrow. The stem is weaker than the other plant and leaves are curling down. Had a Ph issue earlier. Now giving her only Ph - 6.5 water. Will she bounce back? How can i help my plant? Thank you for your answers!

Weak stems in one of my plants
My one plant is starting to have support issues with a couple stems, when I felt the stems they seem soft/rubbery. I’m just curious if this is the sign of some sort of deficiency. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have installed a ScrOG to help support the stems
