Stem on plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher
SunshineBudstarted grow question 3 years ago
The stem on this plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher. Any ideas on strengthening it up or will this hurt me further along?😲 I think this plant got knocked over once so perhaps thats it, just hope it doesn't choke the plant further along. Ideas?

It seems to be genetic or that there wasn't enough light during the early seedling phase. Either way, it looks like you have room in your pot to add more soil. You can bury the lower part of the stem and roots will grow from it. I would do it just in case the plant tips over because it can break, being that it is a weak spot. I also noticed you are feeding the full dose of fox farm nutes. I know the feeding chart says to use that but it is an easy way to nute burn your plants. I start off with 1/4 dose then go up to half dose the next feeding. Since you started the plants in a large pot, the roots haven't colonized that large space so nutrients and water are collecting in the soil not being used. You can see discoloration and leaf tip necrosis already.

Ive had this happen. Sometimes the taproot doesn't shoot deep enough into the dirt can can leave it somewhat exposed. Over time the exposed taproot can grow that stem bark and start to become the stem. Some light air flow to make it strengthen might help a bit, along with a vitamin supplement/silica can help it strengthen its stems as well.

The stems began to turn redGuys, I need your help!
The stems began to turn red. Yesterday it was less, but today it is more saturated and spreads to the veins of the leaves.
Could it be a phosphorus deficiency, or am I worrying for nothing? And what is better to do in this case?

Dark Green Leaves and Purple StemsPlant B has had no nutes its entire life in FFHF soil (3 weeks). Stems are a purplish color and starting to droop a little. Water is always pH'd around 6.3 but I haven't tested the runoff yet. Phosphorus deficiency? Heat Stress? Watering conflict? NL Photo just started flowering.

Calcium Deficiency???So this is a Calcium Deficiency right? Noticing on top leaves. Not bad yet but want to stop it before it starts as this grow has been my best so far. I have been using CalMag every water but I did lower the dose for a few days as I was told I was using too much for flower.

Natural or Problem?Is this natural yellowing or is there a problem? pH to 6.3 and runoff is 5.7. The stem is awfully purple, watering/feeding is where I struggle. 1st pic - 4/21 and 2nd pic - today(4/24). Seems to have escalated over the last few days. Do-si-do auto about 10 weeks.

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. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?Plant. Too tall

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.

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..

Leaf colorWhat you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!
