Are there any fans on it? A breeze will strengthen the stem up.

Fairly typical of o plant with a two thirds dominance of Sativa genes and not something to be worried about.

I think she’s perfect for her age! Give her a bit of time to fill out, as long as she can hold herself up I see no issues. 🌱

It’s that pheno! Happens! More sativa leaving pheno. Do you and your siblings look alike? Not exactly —- same with plants

Timeframe of Silica Usage?
Yellow everyone 👋 Is it ever "too late" or "too early" to add silica to help stem gain some thickness? Should be entering veg next week for my OG Kush Auto should be entering veg and I'm worried she's way too thin to ever carry dense buds

Stems on fan leaves weak
The stems on those big leaves seem kind of weak and in general as the grow out they seem to be drooping a bit like they can’t support the weight well. Does this look like a problem and if so any thoughts? I do have a couple of fans in the tent providing some circulation.

Stem thickness
I am noticing that my stem is often too thin when compared to other plants. What this could be an indication of? Could it be that I am slightly under watering the soil by giving about 0.5 L of water each two days after 35 days of veg?

How could I improve recovery chances of a broken/folded seedling stem?
My light accidentally fell on my seedling and broke the stem right below the first set of leafs. The stem, however, did not break in half but it folded over. I have added support to keep it straight. Is there anything else I could do to improve her chances of recovery?

Tall seedlings
I started with lamp on 80cm, on day 3-4-5, so the stems were growing very tall. I decided to rapidly hang the lamp much closer (40cm on day 6-7). They start "buffing up" now, but 2 of 3 really fell down so i had to start supporting them. Hopefully I made the right choice?

Why is week-old seedling starting to fall over?
Why is the seedling in the foreground falling over? Is it from stretching? I planted it on January 28, and moved it to the tent a couple of days ago. It was doing fine until yesterday. (I've removed it from the tent and put it back under the CF bulbs in the bathroom.)
