Should I add more soil and bury the plant so the stem is shorter and more stable?
jetblackboofpackstarted grow question 4y ago
I'm growing outdoors and during the first few days my seedling stretched and the stem is pretty long. I already transplanted into a 3 gallon pot but did not bury deeper. Should I add more soil and make the plant shorter? If so how deep should the stem be? Pic attached.

This is quite normal for seedlings, if you add extra soil you increase the risk of rotting the stem so I would advise against it. Just put extra support and you should be fine.

First time coco growerHello friends, i have a problem with my runoffph in my coco. Last time that I checked it was at 5.6 but I feeded at 6.3. Today I wanted to arrange that by feeding at 6.5 but the runoff is still at 5.6, I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. My plants are not growing anymore.SOS

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.

Have I just killed my plant??Oh no!!
I think I've snapped the main stem!
Can't see a cut or break in the stem, but I definitely heard it snap.
I was trying to train the main stem to same height as the rest of the canopy.
Autoflower, 2 weeks into flower.
Have I fucked it??

Over watering? Will she recover?When I lifted this GSC auto from the tent to LST she simply fell over. Prior to that I thought she looked very healthy. Since then her leaves have all flopped down. I'm pretty sure I've been over watering. She's now being supported. Will she recover? see before and after pics

Mashrooms and Plants HeightIs the height of the plants too much? They seems too high and weak.
As you can see in the pictures I have to remove mashrooms every day, I reduced humidity value down to 55% and I keep open the room window and closet door to ensure air recirculation. Is it so bad?

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).
