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

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?Plant. Stem - Weak

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

Mold on stem (outdoor)Hello guys!
One plant of a friends outdoor grow is looking not so good. On two stems there are spaces without bark, and on one spot is even some mold.
Almost looks like someone removed it with a knife.
Any diagnosis, tips or other help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!Plant. Stem - Weak
