Lights were too far away in begin so my plants stretched a bit. Now at the 10th day they look healthy but the stems are thin.
How do I fix them? And will it be okay in the end?

Ein Tagebuch mit ein paar Bildern wäre schon hilfreich 😅
Also das die kleinen etwas lang wachsen ist nicht so tragisch, solange sie nicht knicken. Der Stamm wird mit der Zeit dicker werden, das braucht einfach Geduld.
Hilfreich wäre es für den Stamm, wenn dieser leicht durch Luftbewegung gehalten wird. So wird er kräftiger Also mit einem Ventilator. Aber Vorsicht, zu viel des Guten führt schnell zu Windbrand 😅

Help branches breaking in flowerHelp. Several branches in late flower have fell over and they have basically snapped but not broke off. Should each branch be removed. I'm looking for the safest route. Chop the branches? Leave them hang and forget it? Or chop the whole plant in fear its been over stressed. Help!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?

Droopy plantFirst thought over watered in a fabric pot feeding 3ml a day in 1L ph’d water, 24 hours later no improvement. Now I’m pushed to a nitro excess or a feed excess as most leaves are shiney solid green. Still using oldtimer grow as 5 days into flower. Should I flush and move to bloomPlant. Wilting

Bad plant from bad seed? Keep or throw?So one of my girls germinated with only one leaf and is growing at a much slower pace compared to her sister (they germinated in soil within 24hrs from each other)
I think it was a bad seed, is it worth keeping her? I've planted another now just in case 🤷🏽5y ago

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?Week 5
