Just depends on where you are at in the plants life cycle. Are you veggibg? Flower? Size of pot?
Tuankt847answered grow question 4y ago
Yes. My plant is in the vegetative stage. The pot I use is 7 gallon.

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.

Why are my stems drooping?My Jack Herer auto is dropping in the stems that are supposed to come out at a 45° angle and resting upon the fan leaves. The light is a Mars Hydro SP 250 that's about 24 inches above the canopy. I stopped watering today in an attempt to see if I was perhaps over watering.Plant. Stem - Weak

No Growth after nutrient lockoutI had nutrient lockout due to using full strength nutes instead of 50%, after thoroughly drying pots for a week. I Flushed each plant with 5 gallons of water then I added back nutes at 50% minus calmag & boomerang Still no growth in a week and stems are wreaking, new growth twist5y ago

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.Plant.

Do stems thicken up during flower?More a question out of Idol curiosity, I've managed to train an even canopy with what will hopefully be 7 main colas, and there's a few sites that aren't in the top canopy that look like they could do well
Will the stems continue to thicken with a fan on them when flower starts?5y ago

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?Plant. Stem - Weak

Can this stretched seedling be saved?So, my first seedling spent a few days w/weak light and got stretched. I then started “Shorty”; both outdoors the last three days. I buried “Stretch” 3/4” deeper.
Is “Stretch” (the first plant) totally fucked? Anything else to do?
