Stem not growing as fast as the branch
contrapunkstarted grow question 5y 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?

I'm not quite sure what you mean? It looks healthy. You've done it correctly 👍🌱all stems will garden up eventually....

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.

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.2y ago

Blätter welk verdrehtDie Blätter wirken welk bzw. verdreht. Sie sind heute den ersten Tag im 12/12 Modus mit anderem Licht. Was könnte es sein? Zu wenig Wasser Zuviel Dünger kann ich ausschließen sie bekommen noch fast die gleiche Menge Wachstum wie zuvor. Und davon auch weniger als gefordertLeaves. Curl down

How to fix leggy plants?Hello all! I received 4 plants that were about 2-3 ft tall and top heavy. They are growing denser now, and I started topping them off to maintain the height. Currently they are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I supported the skinny bases with wood stakes and ties, but they grew mold :(Plant. Stem - Weak
