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. 🌱

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?

Broke my baby plant
So today was I suppose classic newbie messing with the plant too much. I thought I could sink the stem into the coco a little so that it has more support but ended up breaking the stem. I rescued with a mini wooden spoon, some wire and sellotape. Any advice welcome.

Slow growth yellow leaf edges what to do?
Plant growing slowly (but still growing) with weak growth tips and yellow edges on leaves with interveinal chlorosis. Looks like overwatering / magnesium deficiency to me. I use a weighing scale to know when to water, but started the plant in 25L pot so this might have caused it.

My seedling just fell over
All of the sudden a healthy looking seedling decided to fall/bend over, it does have the thinnest stem of them all. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it with my other seedlings? Outside temperature is 24⁰ and I water them twice a day with pH-balanced water

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.
