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.

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?

What i do with her?
Ola growmies. O que fazer com esta Royal Gorilla? Teve um inicio de vida lento em relação às outras, as primeiras duas folhas ficaram coladas durante algum tempo. Pensei que com o tempo ela ia desenvolver-se normalmente mas tem 34 dias e tem este aspeto com alguns pelos a nascer.

How long until she dies?
How long until a seedling dies? This autoflower bent outside and I’m hoping she will survive. She hasn’t turned brown yet. First pic is damage. 2nd pic is right after. Third pic is today. It’s been about 24 hours and she’s still green... a little yellow though.

MAIN STEM BROKEN
Broke my stem doing LST last week Tried to put it back together but when I came back to see them yesterday the ridge was even bigger. Will they survive eventually? I put some rocks under the main branches to support them. Plant seems to be doing fine.

I found out, my DWC system wasn't stable. This caused to much difference in temp/EC and PH. Now I"m sure I found the solution but, do you think I need to start over? 2 look very very bad. See pictures. I made 1 picture of each plant in te last serie. See the difference.

Why is my plant not growing?
Its been a couple of days (3-4) and I havent noticed any growth in the plant. The stem seems to be quite thin and weak. What do you think it could be?

Main Stem Split On Two Strains In Same Environment
Main stock split for no apparent reason?? anyone had this happen with minimal to no stress on the side branches?? Wondering if I topped too low or should have tried to leave more stem from the last node. Growing hard and she just splits, I have seen this bending branches...😀👍🙏

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical Storms
I live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy. I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?

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 :(
