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! 😊

Mashrooms and Plants Height
Is 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?

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

Do stems thicken up during flower?
More a question out of Idol curiosity, I've managed to train an even canopy with what will hopefully be 7 main colas, and there's a few sites that aren't in the top canopy that look like they could do well Will the stems continue to thicken with a fan on them when flower starts?

Weak stems in one of my plants
My one plant is starting to have support issues with a couple stems, when I felt the stems they seem soft/rubbery. I’m just curious if this is the sign of some sort of deficiency. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have installed a ScrOG to help support the stems

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.
