The writer in front of me said it right. And what I thinking don't put ur ladies a stick. Did work with ventilation? This is really important too when ur plant in a garden hose. I have ventilation 20 min per hour and not directly to the lady and the lady will be going stronger. But on a sticky, may, the stay weak the hole time.
Go forward, we trust in u.
Make ur experience.👍👍👍💪💪💪

Your plant knows what it is doing. It will be fine.
Massaging the stem until it is soft is just causing damage.
Make sure your plant has good strong light or lots of sun and let nature take care of the rest.
Cheers, Organoman.

Pidgeons420 on youtube has some cool techniques he uses for strengthening stems. He says he does it everyday by massaging the stem until it softens and then it repairs itself getting thicker and stronger and being able to uptake more nutes and water. Its interesting havent tried it yet tho.

Search the “ Kyle kushman” technique on YouTube. Or you can check my latest diary for pics. You can see the main stem on my plant is bigger in areas where I utilized the technique.
Also use potassium silicate in your feed schedule to help strengthen your stems.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.Week 4
