I wouldn't worry about that at all, if anything I would bend it over more so that stalk gets some light at it more an thickens up.

Brace them with a stick and get in some indirect airflow to help them build up a stalk. I'd also move light a bit closer like suggested below. Good Luck!

It needs a fan from the day it pops out to prevent this buddy air flow is key to make it flex and strengthen up

Hi man, did you recently move the light? Move it a little bit closer or adjust intensity, and don't overwater. Also help her with a fan if it's not there yet, just don't point it directly. Good luck!

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.

Are they on time?Hi there! What do you think about my plants? It's my first grow and I have no idea if they are doing good or are too slow to be at the end of the fourth week. Does it mean starting from tomorrow they are already in flowering time? Thanks! Cheers

Droopy plant First thought over watered in a fabric pot feeding 3ml a day in 1L ph’d water, 24 hours later no improvement. Now I’m pushed to a nitro excess or a feed excess as most leaves are shiney solid green. Still using oldtimer grow as 5 days into flower. Should I flush and move to bloom
