Could be that the buds developing are too jeavy for the branches, could be the start of a calcium deficiency that can cause weak stems. Try some calmag and supporting the buds before the stems break.

My second plant is really a midget compared to the other one. Should i be worried? Hello! Growing this Wedding Cake Auto for 10 days, and it's 2 times
Same environment for both plants. Spaces between branches are super narrow. The stem is weaker than the other plant and leaves are curling down. Had a Ph issue earlier. Now giving her only Ph - 6.5 water. Will she bounce back? How can i help my plant? Thank you for your answers!

Recovery after broken stem
Accidentally broke main steam right before juicy top with some pre-flowers (white hairs). Photos were taken 24 hours after accident. I did the right thing with fixing it with tape? Or it will not produce flowers now and was it better to cut it out completely?

How to fix leggy plants?
Hello all! I received 4 plants that were about 2-3 ft tall and top heavy. They are growing denser now, and I started topping them off to maintain the height. Currently they are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I supported the skinny bases with wood stakes and ties, but they grew mold :(

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
