as early as possible with autos...I top mine as soon as enough there to top/ pinch off...don't want to slow down and stress it during flower.

Stem on plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higherThe stem on this plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher. Any ideas on strengthening it up or will this hurt me further along?😲 I think this plant got knocked over once so perhaps thats it, just hope it doesn't choke the plant further along. Ideas?

Accidental stem bendI accidentally cause a break in one of the cola's stems. Just wondering if folk with experience could say if this is likely to be a problem and if so how much of a problem? Was thinking I could put some Rhizotonic dilution in a spray bottle to help her recover?

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical StormsI live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy.
I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?
