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.

Leaning Plant /Could really do with some advice on the lean if anyone has any? Should I dig her up very carefully before her root mass gets too big and try to straighten her out? Should I put a little gardening stick in there and tie the stem to it to support her?

Have I just killed my plant??Oh no!!
I think I've snapped the main stem!
Can't see a cut or break in the stem, but I definitely heard it snap.
I was trying to train the main stem to same height as the rest of the canopy.

weak seedlings do not grow with othersI hope I can help the smallest plant (No. 3). 4 plants are planted in the same medium ,they have the same conditions. The difference is in the method of germination (2x peat jiff tablets - these plants look the strongest than 2x germ. in coco ... this is the case with plant n.4Week 2
