If you don't do anything, the plant will recover and grow normally. Think of it as a bit of high stress training!

Support, stop moving and hope he survives. But most of the time the area heals quickly and you don't notice any effects.

If it starts wilting severely within hours.. it won’t make it.. otherwise it’ll repair itself. Securing it somehow would be optimal

I have started two auto strains in smaller fiber pots with FF Happy Frog and plan on transferring them to 3 gallon fabric pots with FF Ocean Forest. Is this a good idea and if so roughly when should I transfer and begin nuts?

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!

Increase light hours autoflower
My autoflowers are 6 weeks old and showing flowering signs. Can I increase the number of light hours from 17hrs to 20/22/24hrs? Does it cause light stress and can trigger vegetation or make it hermaphrodite?

How long until she dies?
How long until a seedling dies? This autoflower bent outside and I’m hoping she will survive. She hasn’t turned brown yet. First pic is damage. 2nd pic is right after. Third pic is today. It’s been about 24 hours and she’s still green... a little yellow though.

First grow tips and strains pls?
Looking at starting my first grow, I have a 120x120x200cm tent, and a 1000w LED light. What auto strains would you recommend for a complete beginner? Any tips in general would be great too. I'm hoping to have 8 plants, but generally quality is more important to me than quantity.

dli 40x40 growbox lamp distance problem
hi guys, I have a ts1000 at a distance of 50cm they tell me to lower it to 40cm but the dli would greatly exceed (60 dli photone) the recommended threshold of 40/45. Having a 40x40 growbox, in your opinion, at what distance should I keep the lamp?

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!
