It may be you light intensity is too low but she is still small, give her some more time and see how she goes

Broke my baby plantSo today was I suppose classic newbie messing with the plant too much. I thought I could sink the stem into the coco a little so that it has more support but ended up breaking the stem. I rescued with a mini wooden spoon, some wire and sellotape. Any advice welcome.Week 3

How long should I wait before watering my plant, causing the newly added soil around the stem to get wet? The old soil underneath still has some moisture.I added more soil and buried an inch of the stem because of an accident that I had. To prevent stem rot I used dry soil. She has recovered from the accident. How long should I wait before watering her and causing the newly added soil to get wet? (details in diary)Plant. Stem - Weak

weak seedlings do not grow with othersI hope I can help the smallest plant (No. 3). 4 plants are planted in the same medium ,they have the same conditions. The difference is in the method of germination (2x peat jiff tablets - these plants look the strongest than 2x germ. in coco ... this is the case with plant n.4Week 2

Day 37 - Main Stem Split in Half on Manifolded Plant: Is the Plant Salvageable?The stem on one of my manifolded plants has split in half at the base. I tried to salvage the stem by using garden tie knot with a zip tie to bring the halves back together. Is this going to kill the plant or is this plant salvageable? Thank you for your advice.Plant.

What do I do about this fungal infection?Follow up to my previous question. What do I do about this infection? It's fungal. I have crop defender 3, but the plant is starting to lean because of the weight. Help?! She is also killing another set of large leaves. And she's healing, I think, but it's taking too much time.2mo ago
