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

answered grow question 4y ago
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.

Have I just killed my plant??
Oh no!! I think I've snapped the main stem! Can't see a cut or break in the stem, but I definitely heard it snap. I was trying to train the main stem to same height as the rest of the canopy. Autoflower, 2 weeks into flower. Have I fucked it??

What Happened?!?!
What happened!? Everything was fine under 60 W lamp, last night I started my regular 18 hour cycle with my big light, woke up this morning to see the gelato OG had fallen over, could this be from the light? The other seem to be doing OK. Added one of the blueberry for compare

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.

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?

Day 37 - Main Stem Split in Half on Manifolded Plant: Is the Plant Salvageable?
The stem on one of my manifolded plants has split in half at the base. I tried to salvage the stem by using garden tie knot with a zip tie to bring the halves back together. Is this going to kill the plant or is this plant salvageable? Thank you for your advice.

How many watts do I need for my small tent?
I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?

What i do with her?
Ola growmies. O que fazer com esta Royal Gorilla? Teve um inicio de vida lento em relação às outras, as primeiras duas folhas ficaram coladas durante algum tempo. Pensei que com o tempo ela ia desenvolver-se normalmente mas tem 34 dias e tem este aspeto com alguns pelos a nascer.

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had a handle on tis.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my plant? It used to droop badly but I fixed that (underwatering) and the plant looks a lot better. Stalk was weak so I switched to "Veg" (mostly blue light) mode. I also added proper nutrients which are helping even more. Help??
