Stem thickness
I am noticing that my stem is often too thin when compared to other plants. What this could be an indication of? Could it be that I am slightly under watering the soil by giving about 0.5 L of water each two days after 35 days of veg?

Meine 3 Sämlinge bilden meiner Meinung nach zu schnell die vielen Blätter darum biegt sich der Stamm nach unten so das er fast abbricht. Kann ich irgendetwas tun das sie die Stämme dicker bilden sodass sie ihre Blätter halten können?

SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)
During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?

Timeframe of Silica Usage?
Yellow everyone 👋 Is it ever "too late" or "too early" to add silica to help stem gain some thickness? Should be entering veg next week for my OG Kush Auto should be entering veg and I'm worried she's way too thin to ever carry dense buds

How many watts do I need for my small tent?
I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?

What happened here?
Had 2 stems that aren't doing well. Can really tell what happened. They are a lot taller than the rest. At first I thought it was because of light intensity. When I examined it closer it looks like the stem is damage or some sort of nutrient thing. Any thoughts
