I have fixed the one on the bottom left with a toothpick. This photo is from yesterday and plants growing small leaves now. I foliar sprayed them and pour a tiny bit of water onto them from the leftover but now I am worried I overwatered them the top of the soil wasnt even dry.

1 week plant “snapped itself”
So my 1 week plant just folded on itself like it snapped. Never seen this happen before. I propped it up and hope it recovers. Any reason why it did that?

Snapped Plant
One of my little guys was kinda snapped/snapped and peeled down a bit but not a full break in the stem. I created a little splint and taped it up and it’s kinda looked the same all day. Do you think it will survive or it a break of that kind at this size the end of it? 😢

Would you prune these?
Im in third week of flower now and my plant has a few earlier side branches as thin as in the picture. Would you prune these or still wait for them to grow higher. This plant is a bit troublesome in growing but it also has a few much thicker branches as you can see in the diary.

Accidental stem bend
I 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?

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.

It's still not growing...
First set of true leaves I noticed a brown spot and feeding a little cal-mag now. Cotyledon leaves are almost fully yellow and dead. Also, true leaves getting lighter. Does that mean it's not getting enough nutes? How can I get this plant moving? It started off really well..

Any ideas what happened here
Hey any idea what happened here? I thought it was too much light but the stem is brown like it's dieing. It's the only spot on the plant and the only stalks that are taller than the rest.
