Stem thickness
MrBigGrow
started 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

Stem Split X2! YIKES!
I have two partially split stems. It looks to me like the plant is already healing itself, but I've never encountered this before so I'm not sure if I should be supporting the split area, or just letting her be? I don't want it to get worse...

Splitting Branch
Possible Problem!!! I have an issue where I think I should wrap a section on my plant. She looks like she is going to split. Should I let it be or wrap her with tape for extra support?

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!

Have I just killed my plant??
Oh no!! I think I've snapped the main stem! Can't see a cut or break in the stem, but I definitely heard it snap. I was trying to train the main stem to same height as the rest of the canopy. Autoflower, 2 weeks into flower. Have I fucked it??

Weak stems in one of my plants
My one plant is starting to have support issues with a couple stems, when I felt the stems they seem soft/rubbery. I’m just curious if this is the sign of some sort of deficiency. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have installed a ScrOG to help support the stems

Are they on time?
Hi there! What do you think about my plants? It's my first grow and I have no idea if they are doing good or are too slow to be at the end of the fourth week. Does it mean starting from tomorrow they are already in flowering time? Thanks! Cheers

Stem on plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher
The stem on this plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher. Any ideas on strengthening it up or will this hurt me further along?😲 I think this plant got knocked over once so perhaps thats it, just hope it doesn't choke the plant further along. Ideas?

I found out, my DWC system wasn't stable. This caused to much difference in temp/EC and PH. Now I"m sure I found the solution but, do you think I need to start over? 2 look very very bad. See pictures. I made 1 picture of each plant in te last serie. See the difference.

What Should I do?
I have fixed the one on the bottom left with a toothpick. This photo is from yesterday and plants growing small leaves now. I foliar sprayed them and pour a tiny bit of water onto them from the leftover but now I am worried I overwatered them the top of the soil wasnt even dry.

Mashrooms and Plants Height
Is the height of the plants too much? They seems too high and weak. As you can see in the pictures I have to remove mashrooms every day, I reduced humidity value down to 55% and I keep open the room window and closet door to ensure air recirculation. Is it so bad?
