Should I bend my seedling's main Stem? 10⁰ day

yuriblackdstarted grow question 3 years ago

Hey guys, not sure If this plant is streaching for light... For me, It is not. Nevertheless, this one ended up hanging a little. do you think i should leave it as it is or try to support it? The others are still okey (Second one is an example)... Sorry for the shitty pic

Just support it with a paper clip or a piece of wire. Whatever bend that the stem has the plant will grow out of it. Hope this helps

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

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.
