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

Slow growth yellow leaf edges what to do?
Plant growing slowly (but still growing) with weak growth tips and yellow edges on leaves with interveinal chlorosis. Looks like overwatering / magnesium deficiency to me. I use a weighing scale to know when to water, but started the plant in 25L pot so this might have caused it.

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

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?

Stems on fan leaves weak
The stems on those big leaves seem kind of weak and in general as the grow out they seem to be drooping a bit like they can’t support the weight well. Does this look like a problem and if so any thoughts? I do have a couple of fans in the tent providing some circulation.

Weak stalk
I started growing my hindu kush x kush on my window ledge in the UK. When I realised it wasn't getting nearly enough light I ordered a little grow light and turned a cupboard into a grow room. However I am concerned my stalk is a bit too week. any help? Have already transplanted.
