Does direct fan on a seedling can slow the growth ?
Papa_Tanswered grow question 3 years ago
A little seedling like that doesn’t need much of a huge fan for it to do well. A really light breeze should suffice for the first three weeks. It’ll be able to handle more air movement once it gets out of the seedling stage.
I made that mistake on my first grow and I felt like plant was staying realistic short because I had a fan blowing directly on it with no oscillation. The plant didn’t want to poke it’s head up from the edge of the pot.
Good luck bro 🤙

During the first weeks, no direct fan on the seedlings. Turn the fan upwards or towards a wall.
And for the size: each plant is different, even in exactly the same conditions. Just let it grow, it will catch up... mostly....

you'd see windburn if it was having a large enogh effect to slow the plant down.
is stem thicker? may have put resources into that to combat wind.
don't underestimate a small seedling... defintiely don't give direct wind from a fan, but i don't think it would cause any long-term damage based on that picture if you did. i'd wager more genetics than anythign as to the current size. it looks healthy.

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Damping off or stress?It was laying flat when i woke up. I have been using domes untill yesterday and I thought it was because of the fan first. I put some soil around the stem but didn't help. Toothpicks are holding it now.
Looked deeper and I didn't see a thinner stem nor a dent.
