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?

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?
