Stem thickness
MrBigGrow
started 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

Tall seedlings
I started with lamp on 80cm, on day 3-4-5, so the stems were growing very tall. I decided to rapidly hang the lamp much closer (40cm on day 6-7). They start "buffing up" now, but 2 of 3 really fell down so i had to start supporting them. Hopefully I made the right choice?

Over water? Damping? Heat? Alive? Dead?
Bent stem, possible damping off, still alive though two days later. Drooped day after, but droop is going away, not growing much though.

Wachstum
2 Pflanzen hängen trüb zu Seite, während alle anderen kräftig gerade stehen. 2 Wochen alt, kein Dünger bis jetzt und in normaler Blumenerde. Bei einer anderen Pflanze ist vom erste Blattpaar eines eingerollt. Verstehe nicht wieso. Wäre für Hilfe und Anregungen sehr dankbar.

I found out, my DWC system wasn't stable. This caused to much difference in temp/EC and PH. Now I"m sure I found the solution but, do you think I need to start over? 2 look very very bad. See pictures. I made 1 picture of each plant in te last serie. See the difference.

Noob grower - plant need extra support?
I've got a plant 9 weeks into veg that sags noticeably when the leaves are wet. Is this unusual or will the branches thicken enough to be able to support rain soaked clusters of sticky-icky happiness? Is there anything I can do to encourage thicker branches?
