Plant bends over
peterpanpanstarted grow question 6y ago
My plants are now just 2 weeks old and only about 10cm. One is standing perfectly but the other bends to the ground like it’s too weak. What am I supposed to do? Isn‘t it too early for some soil

Sometimes they'll need abit of support, make sure the lamp is at the correct distance and not too intense. Try making a little mound of soil around her stem too super her. 🌱👍

Just lower your light slightly looks like its stretching for the light, also just put some soil around it for some support

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?1y ago

Droopy plantFirst thought over watered in a fabric pot feeding 3ml a day in 1L ph’d water, 24 hours later no improvement. Now I’m pushed to a nitro excess or a feed excess as most leaves are shiney solid green. Still using oldtimer grow as 5 days into flower. Should I flush and move to bloomPlant. Wilting

Damping off? Or just damaged?Are they damping off?
They were outdoor in the sun almost whole day. They got droopy and I thought it is because they haven't been in the sun each day and are not used to warmth.
The stems are rather thin and I burried the highers part in soil from the edges to keep them right.Plant. Stem - Weak

Why are my stems drooping?My Jack Herer auto is dropping in the stems that are supposed to come out at a 45° angle and resting upon the fan leaves. The light is a Mars Hydro SP 250 that's about 24 inches above the canopy. I stopped watering today in an attempt to see if I was perhaps over watering.Plant. Stem - Weak

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had a handle on tis.Can someone tell me what is wrong with my plant?
It used to droop badly but I fixed that (underwatering) and the plant looks a lot better.
Stalk was weak so I switched to "Veg" (mostly blue light) mode.
I also added proper nutrients which are helping even more.
