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

No Growth after nutrient lockout
I had nutrient lockout due to using full strength nutes instead of 50%, after thoroughly drying pots for a week. I Flushed each plant with 5 gallons of water then I added back nutes at 50% minus calmag & boomerang Still no growth in a week and stems are wreaking, new growth twist

Day 37 - Main Stem Split in Half on Manifolded Plant: Is the Plant Salvageable?
The stem on one of my manifolded plants has split in half at the base. I tried to salvage the stem by using garden tie knot with a zip tie to bring the halves back together. Is this going to kill the plant or is this plant salvageable? Thank you for your advice.

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.

Over watering? Will she recover?
When I lifted this GSC auto from the tent to LST she simply fell over. Prior to that I thought she looked very healthy. Since then her leaves have all flopped down. I'm pretty sure I've been over watering. She's now being supported. Will she recover? see before and after pics

Stem not growing as fast as the branch
The Two mainline branch seems to have more girth than the main stem. Any reason why the stem isn’t growing at the same rate?

Help branches breaking in flower
Help. Several branches in late flower have fell over and they have basically snapped but not broke off. Should each branch be removed. I'm looking for the safest route. Chop the branches? Leave them hang and forget it? Or chop the whole plant in fear its been over stressed. Help!
