The main stem of my young self-flowering plant (9d) broke because of the wind
Ratpi_2i
started grow question 3y ago
The main stem of my young self-flowering plant (9d) broke because of the wind but did not cut, I put it back from the substrate to the cotyledon, but it grows much less quickly, despite this, it remains green, will it recover? If so, in how long?

Weak stalk
I started growing my hindu kush x kush on my window ledge in the UK. When I realised it wasn't getting nearly enough light I ordered a little grow light and turned a cupboard into a grow room. However I am concerned my stalk is a bit too week. any help? Have already transplanted.

Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.

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
