Do you have a fan? That will/should strengthen the stem. Your light might be inadequate or may need to move closer.

I feel like this one is getting out of control I think bad gene from problem early and slow flowering? Any suggestions of what I can do? I want to wait and see how it turns out even if whispy bud but not if it's going to be at a detriment to the others they are smelling lovely

Too Tall Too Quickly - How to slow this down?
Following grower's advice, I chose not to top my autos. When buying the seeds initially, I tried to buy only strains that were said to grow up to medium height. Towards the end of week 5 and my Blackberry Gum is 90cm high. How can I slow this down without affecting yield? TIA

Twisting, yellowish, drooping leaves
Soil: Nectar of the Gods (4shot) Nutes: Nectar of the gods (exact on my page) I'm almost positive I've been overwatering but what do I do now lol? How do I get my plants to perk up? Do I wait it out? I've also brought my light down 2 and a half feet due to stretching.

Will this branch hold? Newbie
Currently 10 days in too flower. I’m worried that this branch will snap at one point. Did I over do LST? I laid it flat to counter balance it from the main stem.

Is it growing to fast?
Is she looking normal? I've never seen anything grow as fast. She's grown 2 inches in 3 days. Only using natural light to grow because it'll be moving outside when it's a bit bigger.

Do I need to cover the stem with soil up to the first leaves?
Do I need to get my plant in the soil up to the first two leaves? Is this important? In that case i’ll try to cut a bottle and fill it up to the first two leaves.

1 out of 5 juicy fruit is still preflower and are 56 days. The one that is not flowering is almost 4 feet tall and is the biggest of them all. I can’t imagine that a plant with such fast growth is a photo. If it is I’ll be happy. Is it definitely a photo? Also it’s light sensitiv
