The main stem of my young self-flowering plant (9d) broke because of the wind
Ratpi_2istarted 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?

Unhappy SeedlingPlant is day 10 now and growing fairly slowly compared to most (atleast it feels that way) noticed it suddenly started growing at an unusual angle today. I recently added a small fan for a light breeze, VERY light. humidity at 50-60% and kept between 18 - 26 degrees. Any ideas?Plant. Twisted

Growing speed different in same strain different plantsTwo of my plants are the same strain (easy bud) but growing at totally different speeds. I am using 9x 9W LED bulbs as supplemental lighting to the sunlight that comes through a big window. Is it the amount of sunlight the plant gets that’s the limiting factor? Also stems r weakWeek 4
