I don’t think there’s any coming back from that, unfortunately. I would start a new plant

Very unlikely it'll recover from that, looks like pinching (or weight on it) or insect damage. Difficult to say. It might recover, but yeah, I'd germinate some other seedling so long, too.

Plant a new one for sure but let her be for a day in case she recovers. Good luck! 😊

What i do with her?
Ola growmies. O que fazer com esta Royal Gorilla? Teve um inicio de vida lento em relação às outras, as primeiras duas folhas ficaram coladas durante algum tempo. Pensei que com o tempo ela ia desenvolver-se normalmente mas tem 34 dias e tem este aspeto com alguns pelos a nascer.

Could these be automatics?
I was trying for the first time the 12-12 form seed growing method and these are supose to be “fast cookies” but I assumed they were just fem But as i am following the state as close as i can and daily “studying in here a couple of hours” i think the problem could be genetic

First time grower, concerned about plants thinning.
This is my first grow, I will be switching these girls to t5 tomorrow. Should I be concerned by their height? They will also be going outside into a greenhouse after 2 weeks inside.

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??

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.

Noob grower - plant need extra support?
I've got a plant 9 weeks into veg that sags noticeably when the leaves are wet. Is this unusual or will the branches thicken enough to be able to support rain soaked clusters of sticky-icky happiness? Is there anything I can do to encourage thicker branches?
