Why is week-old seedling starting to fall over?
Zoomerstarted grow question 3 years ago
Why is the seedling in the foreground falling over? Is it from stretching? I planted it on January 28, and moved it to the tent a couple of days ago. It was doing fine until yesterday. (I've removed it from the tent and put it back under the CF bulbs in the bathroom.)

add soil all the way to the top of the cup to secure it it will recover, good luck my friend :)

It might be stretching if the light is far away, or it could be genetics. Adding more soil or a prop wire will help and eventually it won't be a problem. Good luck!

This happens sometimes, normally because the light is too weak or too far away. But can also just be genetics. Just top off with some more soil 👍🌱

Prop it up with a thin stick and move use either a stronger light or put it closer to the light.

It's stretching to get to the light, and it's getting too tall for that cup. You'll need to replant it in at least a one gallon pot. If you can put a fan on them too (just so they dance a little) they'll get stronger.

Lighting was too far away. It was stretching for light. Became top heavy. 24 inches is a good general height for light in vegging. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊💨

I would assume either damping off from moistures or they are just still building structures, the blue dream i grow yearly makes a bend that holds itself from the ground its pretty interesting.

Why has my Stem outer wall burst?It seems like my girls stem has burst out of it's outer layer, is this something to be worried about? I feel like it's because she's just had another growth spurt and in a few days this will heal over, new grower so naturally paranoid about everything, uploading todays pics next

Tall seedlingsI 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?

Do stems thicken up during flower?More a question out of Idol curiosity, I've managed to train an even canopy with what will hopefully be 7 main colas, and there's a few sites that aren't in the top canopy that look like they could do well
Will the stems continue to thicken with a fan on them when flower starts?3 years ago

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early?
I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since...
Thanks!3 years ago

Stem on plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higherThe 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?

SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?
