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.

Growing speed different in same strain different plants
Two of my plants are the same strain (easy bud) but growing at totally different speeds. I am using 9x 9W LED bulbs as supplemental lighting to the sunlight that comes through a big window. Is it the amount of sunlight the plant gets that’s the limiting factor? Also stems r weak

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...

Splitting Branch
Possible Problem!!! I have an issue where I think I should wrap a section on my plant. She looks like she is going to split. Should I let it be or wrap her with tape for extra support?

First time grower, concerned about plants thinning.
This is my first grow, I will be switching these girls to t5 tomorrow. Should I be concerned by their height? They will also be going outside into a greenhouse after 2 weeks inside.

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?

Stems on fan leaves weak
The stems on those big leaves seem kind of weak and in general as the grow out they seem to be drooping a bit like they can’t support the weight well. Does this look like a problem and if so any thoughts? I do have a couple of fans in the tent providing some circulation.

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.

Broke my baby plant
So today was I suppose classic newbie messing with the plant too much. I thought I could sink the stem into the coco a little so that it has more support but ended up breaking the stem. I rescued with a mini wooden spoon, some wire and sellotape. Any advice welcome.
