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

Why are my stems drooping?My Jack Herer auto is dropping in the stems that are supposed to come out at a 45° angle and resting upon the fan leaves. The light is a Mars Hydro SP 250 that's about 24 inches above the canopy. I stopped watering today in an attempt to see if I was perhaps over watering.
