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.

I don't know if it was water or week lighting.Can I still save the top 2? Leaves are green, not sure if it was water or my late tlights. They are aerated now, SF-1000 is at 70% and approximately 18" away.
They were originally under a LED GE Seedling Grow Light.

Growing speed different in same strain different plantsTwo of my plants are the same strain (easy bud) but growing at totally different speeds. I am using 9x 9W LED bulbs as supplemental lighting to the sunlight that comes through a big window. Is it the amount of sunlight the plant gets that’s the limiting factor? Also stems r weakWeek 4

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Damping off or stress?It was laying flat when i woke up. I have been using domes untill yesterday and I thought it was because of the fan first. I put some soil around the stem but didn't help. Toothpicks are holding it now.
Looked deeper and I didn't see a thinner stem nor a dent.
