Seedling bent to side
Mel_Macallanstarted grow question 4 years ago
Week 1 of my fat banana auto, she bent to the side. I added some soil to help her stand up straight. Also added a small stick and with a wire give her some support. Feeding her about 400 ml water (pot size is 1.5l) biobizz root juice & heaven .5ml. any suggestions why she bent?

Top heavy due to big fat and heavy leaves.
Filling your pot to the brim will provide all the support she needs, so no need for the stick/wire.
In time, the buried portion of stem will grow roots. Having a full pot will also provide more room in general for root growth. The soil will sink down in time, meaning watering and feeding will always be easy.
Just remember, more roots = more plant!
Hope this helps,...........

Harvest ready?I have a ladyburn 1974 plant and am wondering if it is ready to harvest. The buds aren’t super big, but there is probably about 30% amber trichomes. Based on schedule it is either in 3 days or 10. In 3 days it will be 9 1/2 weeks into flowering. Attached are some pictures.Other. General questions

When is the start of “veg” from seed?Is it as soon as the leaves pop? Or once it starts putting on side branches? I usually let them start in solo cups and after 4 weeks, I transplant them to larger pots to start “week 1” of veg. Is that cheating? LolOther. General questions

How should I harvest?So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.Other. Harvest - Drying

I had not filled my pots enough, the heat accumulates inside it can go up to 32° without a fan. Currently I have added fans but I'm afraid it will dry out my plants.
A solution ?

Siamese Twin Plant ?I believe what I’m looking at is two plant stems growing side by side each other.
It looks like two stem cores wrapped in the same epidermis. For any plant geeks out there I think it looks like two Xylem potentially sharing a singular cambium and phloem.Week 6
