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.

Unhappy Seedling
Plant is day 10 now and growing fairly slowly compared to most (atleast it feels that way) noticed it suddenly started growing at an unusual angle today. I recently added a small fan for a light breeze, VERY light. humidity at 50-60% and kept between 18 - 26 degrees. Any ideas?

Any ideas what happened here
Hey any idea what happened here? I thought it was too much light but the stem is brown like it's dieing. It's the only spot on the plant and the only stalks that are taller than the rest.

Peeling Stem, 3.5 week old Autoflower
the bigger plant has some issues near the base of its stem, I noticed it before I did the LST and now I’m wondering if I should have addressed that issue before starting the LST. Let me know what you guys think! Plant is just about at week 4!

Recovery after broken stem
Accidentally broke main steam right before juicy top with some pre-flowers (white hairs). Photos were taken 24 hours after accident. I did the right thing with fixing it with tape? Or it will not produce flowers now and was it better to cut it out completely?

My second plant is really a midget compared to the other one. Should i be worried? Hello! Growing this Wedding Cake Auto for 10 days, and it's 2 times
Same environment for both plants. Spaces between branches are super narrow. The stem is weaker than the other plant and leaves are curling down. Had a Ph issue earlier. Now giving her only Ph - 6.5 water. Will she bounce back? How can i help my plant? Thank you for your answers!

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

How could I improve recovery chances of a broken/folded seedling stem?
My light accidentally fell on my seedling and broke the stem right below the first set of leafs. The stem, however, did not break in half but it folded over. I have added support to keep it straight. Is there anything else I could do to improve her chances of recovery?
