What might have caused this?

started grow question 3y ago
The plant wilted after transplanting not sure what might have caused the bends at the base of the stem.

answered grow question 3y ago
looks extra stretchy, which can make it floppy. if any slime at base, it could be from damping off. in this case the substrate was too wet and microbes got a foothold. the slime would be a biofilm.

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?

Lights were too far away in begin so my plants stretched a bit. Now at the 10th day they look healthy but the stems are thin. How do I fix them? And will it be okay in the end?

Meine 3 Sämlinge bilden meiner Meinung nach zu schnell die vielen Blätter darum biegt sich der Stamm nach unten so das er fast abbricht. Kann ich irgendetwas tun das sie die Stämme dicker bilden sodass sie ihre Blätter halten können?

SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)
During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?

Tall seedlings
I started with lamp on 80cm, on day 3-4-5, so the stems were growing very tall. I decided to rapidly hang the lamp much closer (40cm on day 6-7). They start "buffing up" now, but 2 of 3 really fell down so i had to start supporting them. Hopefully I made the right choice?

What do I do about this fungal infection?
Follow up to my previous question. What do I do about this infection? It's fungal. I have crop defender 3, but the plant is starting to lean because of the weight. Help?! She is also killing another set of large leaves. And she's healing, I think, but it's taking too much time.
