Just depends on where you are at in the plants life cycle. Are you veggibg? Flower? Size of pot?

I would include a mix of silica when you feed. I use bloom city and I'm getting stupid thick stems in soil. It's a additive found in the earth's crust and temps build stronger cell walls and helps deter pests.

I don't know if it was water or week lighting.
Can I still save the top 2? Leaves are green, not sure if it was water or my late tlights. They are aerated now, SF-1000 is at 70% and approximately 18" away. They were originally under a LED GE Seedling Grow Light.

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.

What's going wrong?
9 day old auto flower, that wont stay up. Completely collapse yesterday but looks to have abit more life today. I first thought it was damping off but have heard it can't recover from that so I don't think that's the issue

Stem Split X2! YIKES!
I have two partially split stems. It looks to me like the plant is already healing itself, but I've never encountered this before so I'm not sure if I should be supporting the split area, or just letting her be? I don't want it to get worse...

Noob grower - plant need extra support?
I've got a plant 9 weeks into veg that sags noticeably when the leaves are wet. Is this unusual or will the branches thicken enough to be able to support rain soaked clusters of sticky-icky happiness? Is there anything I can do to encourage thicker branches?

Small plant thin stems ?
Growing autoflowers in greenhouse in Euro climate. I’m finding that my plants end up with thin stems but of average height. Yields are small but only using 7gallon pots with water only. Any ideas on why that is ?
