Stem thickness
MrBigGrowstarted grow question 2 years 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?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?5 months ago

Leaning Plant /Could really do with some advice on the lean if anyone has any? Should I dig her up very carefully before her root mass gets too big and try to straighten her out? Should I put a little gardening stick in there and tie the stem to it to support her?
