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! 😊

Small plant thin stems ?
Growing autoflowers in greenhouse in Euro climate. I’m finding that my plants end up with thin stems but of average height. Yields are small but only using 7gallon pots with water only. Any ideas on why that is ?

Are they on time?
Hi there! What do you think about my plants? It's my first grow and I have no idea if they are doing good or are too slow to be at the end of the fourth week. Does it mean starting from tomorrow they are already in flowering time? Thanks! Cheers

Triple question: -Why are bottom leaves yellowing this early? -Explain 'What is this!?' picture -Is it normal that when they transition to flowering stage leaves' stems curl down like in Day 56, Rebel (II)?

What's going wrong?
9 day old auto flower, that wont stay up. Completely collapse yesterday but looks to have abit more life today. I first thought it was damping off but have heard it can't recover from that so I don't think that's the issue

Damping off? Or just damaged?
Are they damping off? They were outdoor in the sun almost whole day. They got droopy and I thought it is because they haven't been in the sun each day and are not used to warmth. The stems are rather thin and I burried the highers part in soil from the edges to keep them right.

What Happened?!?!
What happened!? Everything was fine under 60 W lamp, last night I started my regular 18 hour cycle with my big light, woke up this morning to see the gelato OG had fallen over, could this be from the light? The other seem to be doing OK. Added one of the blueberry for compare

What happened here?
Had 2 stems that aren't doing well. Can really tell what happened. They are a lot taller than the rest. At first I thought it was because of light intensity. When I examined it closer it looks like the stem is damage or some sort of nutrient thing. Any thoughts

Defoliate?
Just repotted my baby after learning she may have too much nitrogen. Should I trim all the damaged leaves or should I wait until the plant gets stronger? Also, when will the stem become thicker? Is there something I can do?
