3 best things for strong stems. Proper strong lighting, Specifically high-end leds I've noticed help a lot. Fans gently moving the plants to stress the stems a little and bulk them up. Lastly a silica supplement. Silica helps boost your plants resistance to many different things and this includes helping strengthen the stems.

temperature and humidityMy plants are now in the third week and the 18th day. What is the best temperature and humidity for them week by week? Until now, it was 24 hours of light that I want to take to 18 to 6, should the temperature and humidity of the night be less than the day? Thankful.Other. General questions

Does 72 hrs of darkness really increase the potency of the Trichomes/THC by up to 25%Hi everyone! Can you give me your opinions on doing a dark period just before harvest? Some ppl do 72 hrs, some less and some none at all. Can I get your reasoning for the method you use? And any other helpful info on the subject would be greatly received!Other. General questions

Is she getting too big for a 2L pot?Is my plant getting too big for the pot? It's only a 2L pot and she just hit 14 inches in the pre flowering stretch.
I didn't think she would get this big, I don't want to stunt her by not repotting when I should have, any advice would be great. Thank you!Week 6

Flush too Early?I started flush on the 16th after seeing that more than 50% of the trichomes were cloudy. Hairs are white still but some buds have a few amber trichomes. I don't want this to couchlock too much. Should I harvest the ripe buds, feed 1 day, and re-flush? Any advice is appreciated!Week 9

Slow growth / not spreading out much / compact plant. What gives ? Should I attempt to defoliate to get more light in there / pump more nutes ?Any advice on making it grow faster ? I'm in the 7th week of veg and it's not as bushy as it should. Still growing, just slow. It doesn't seem to want to spread much horizontally / fan leaves are staying relatively small. I'm in 3rd week of LSTing. Am I being impatient ?4 years ago
