Tall seedlings
oppilFstarted grow question 4 years ago
I started with lamp on 80cm, on day 3-4-5, so the stems were growing very tall.
I decided to rapidly hang the lamp much closer (40cm on day 6-7). They start "buffing up" now, but 2 of 3 really fell down so i had to start supporting them.
Hopefully I made the right choice?

Nice job, they will be fine.
If you are concerned, you could always top your pots up with more soil so that it buries a portion of the stems, thus providing a bit more support. Over time your plant will send out roots from the buried portion of stem. Try not to have your fan blowing directly on your seedlings at this age/size, far better to have the fan blowing against a wall at 45-60 upward degree angle, so that the air goes around in a circle - off one wall, off the roof, off the opposite wall then back down to your babies. This will create good air CIRCulation without buffeting your fragile seedlings.
You could just leave them too, either way they will grow normally. Hope this helps.... Organoman.

Give some gentle airflow as recommended and they will strengthen up in a week. You can incorporate silica into your feeding regiment to promote stronger healthier plants as well. Good luck

I would start giving gentle breeze with a small fan, I believe It will build up thicker/stronger stem over time and also always great for air circulation. Cheers!

You made the right choice, the ones you fixed will be fine, the main stem will thicken and support itself in no time. As long as you aren't seeing signs of light stress, you are good to go. Happy growing.

Weak StemI watered today with my sprayer & one of my plants fell over, is this damping off or am I supposed to prop it up somehow? The other ones are fine.

How long should I wait before watering my plant, causing the newly added soil around the stem to get wet? The old soil underneath still has some moisture.I added more soil and buried an inch of the stem because of an accident that I had. To prevent stem rot I used dry soil. She has recovered from the accident. How long should I wait before watering her and causing the newly added soil to get wet? (details in diary)

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?

How many watts do I need for my small tent?I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky.

Noob grower - plant need extra support?I've got a plant 9 weeks into veg that sags noticeably when the leaves are wet. Is this unusual or will the branches thicken enough to be able to support rain soaked clusters of sticky-icky happiness? Is there anything I can do to encourage thicker branches?

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.

MAIN STEM BROKENBroke my stem doing LST last week
Tried to put it back together but when I came back to see them yesterday the ridge was even bigger. Will they survive eventually?
I put some rocks under the main branches to support them. Plant seems to be doing fine.

It's still not growing...First set of true leaves I noticed a brown spot and feeding a little cal-mag now.
Cotyledon leaves are almost fully yellow and dead. Also, true leaves getting lighter.
Does that mean it's not getting enough nutes?
How can I get this plant moving? It started off really well..

¿¿Que debería hacerle a la planta ??Le están saliendo tallos por abajo pero no les da la luz porque la planta tiene cuatro hojas grandes que tapan toda la planta.
¿ creéis que debería quitar las 4 hojas y abrir la planta por abajo o cortar los tallos de abajo y centrarme solo en la parte de arriba ? Le hice FIM

Have I just killed my plant??Oh no!!
I think I've snapped the main stem!
Can't see a cut or break in the stem, but I definitely heard it snap.
I was trying to train the main stem to same height as the rest of the canopy.
Autoflower, 2 weeks into flower.
Have I fucked it??

Mashrooms and Plants HeightIs 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?
