Stem thickness
MrBigGrowstarted grow question 3y ago
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?

Looks good to me. Maybe plant in wider /deeper pots and do a base size comparison going forward

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?Week 6

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 thoughts4y ago

I don't know if it was water or week lighting.Can I still save the top 2? Leaves are green, not sure if it was water or my late tlights. They are aerated now, SF-1000 is at 70% and approximately 18" away.
They were originally under a LED GE Seedling Grow Light.Plant. Stem - Weak

Main Stem Split On Two Strains In Same EnvironmentMain stock split for no apparent reason?? anyone had this happen with minimal to no stress on the side branches?? Wondering if I topped too low or should have tried to leave more stem from the last node. Growing hard and she just splits, I have seen this bending branches...😀👍🙏5y ago

Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.Week 4

But as i am following the state as close as i can and daily “studying in here a couple of hours” i think the problem could be genetic3y ago
