Weak stalk
macauleyj21started grow question 6y ago
I started growing my hindu kush x kush on my window ledge in the UK. When I realised it wasn't getting nearly enough light I ordered a little grow light and turned a cupboard into a grow room. However I am concerned my stalk is a bit too week. any help? Have already transplanted.

Give her a little stronger breeze and that will help to strengthen that stalk. You can also give plants a silica supplement and that really helps build strong resilient plants. And just keep up the stronger lights...a little sunshine each day isn't bad too as long as its hard and bright, as soon as it goes past the window...move it back to the supplemental lighting. 👍

A small fan creating a breeze AROUND your plant(dont blow fan directly at her) will cause the plant to sway. That sway will strengthen and thicken the stalk. You could also get a silica additive. Silica swells the plants cell walls thickening them... in return thickens and strengthens your branches. Happy growing and stay lit fam

Hey buddy.
Your going to need a fan in order to build stem up.
The plant needs some resistance in order to grow strong .......like humans

Can this stretched seedling be saved?So, my first seedling spent a few days w/weak light and got stretched. I then started “Shorty”; both outdoors the last three days. I buried “Stretch” 3/4” deeper.
Is “Stretch” (the first plant) totally fucked? Anything else to do?
1st pic is Stretch, 2nd pic is Shorty.

Weak stems in one of my plantsMy 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 stemsPlant. Stem - Weak

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical StormsI 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?

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.

I've put the seed into full coco,prewatered.It was planted on 28/02,sprouted 3 days later,stopped growing since. I don't think it'll survive but even if it does,it will be a weak one I think.I have one more seed,thinking about replacing with it.Light and darkness both didnt work
