Weak stems can mean you need to add some Silica into your feed. It could also be your air flow. Are the tips of the leaves moving with the fan on ? If not there is not enough air flow in there plants need wind to build stronger stems but we haveto mimic that in our tents and it can be hard.

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?

It's still not growing...First set of true leaves I noticed a brown spot and feeding a little cal-mag now.
Cotyledon leaves are almost fully yellow and dead. Also, true leaves getting lighter.
Does that mean it's not getting enough nutes?
How can I get this plant moving? It started off really well..

MAIN STEM BROKENBroke my stem doing LST last week
Tried to put it back together but when I came back to see them yesterday the ridge was even bigger. Will they survive eventually?

The stem, however, did not break in half but it folded over. I have added support to keep it straight. Is there anything else I could do to improve her chances of recovery?
