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

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical Storms I live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy. I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?

Snapped Plant One of my little guys was kinda snapped/snapped and peeled down a bit but not a full break in the stem. I created a little splint and taped it up and it’s kinda looked the same all day. Do you think it will survive or it a break of that kind at this size the end of it? 😢

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!
