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?

Is my light too far away from my seedling? What should I do to correct the bend and brown spots coming in on the plant? How often should I be watering my seedling and how much? You can see these deficiencies in my uploaded photos in my profile.

Noob grower - plant need extra support?
I've got a plant 9 weeks into veg that sags noticeably when the leaves are wet. Is this unusual or will the branches thicken enough to be able to support rain soaked clusters of sticky-icky happiness? Is there anything I can do to encourage thicker branches?

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?
