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.

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had a handle on tis.Can someone tell me what is wrong with my plant?
It used to droop badly but I fixed that (underwatering) and the plant looks a lot better.
Stalk was weak so I switched to "Veg" (mostly blue light) mode.
I also added proper nutrients which are helping even more.

Defoliate?Just repotted my baby after learning she may have too much nitrogen. Should I trim all the damaged leaves or should I wait until the plant gets stronger? Also, when will the stem become thicker? Is there something I can do?

Main cola is injured.One of the main branches got too heavy and snapped. 6 days later, it’s turning darker and looking to finish on a different time frame. Do I still continue to leave it alone? It didn’t completely break off, and I have it supported with sticks, ties and tape.

Why are my stems drooping?My Jack Herer auto is dropping in the stems that are supposed to come out at a 45° angle and resting upon the fan leaves. The light is a Mars Hydro SP 250 that's about 24 inches above the canopy. I stopped watering today in an attempt to see if I was perhaps over watering.

How to fix leggy plants?Hello all! I received 4 plants that were about 2-3 ft tall and top heavy. They are growing denser now, and I started topping them off to maintain the height. Currently they are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I supported the skinny bases with wood stakes and ties, but they grew mold :(
