answered grow question 2y 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.

Defoliate?
Just repotted my baby after learning she may have too much nitrogen. Should I trim all the damaged leaves or should I wait until the plant gets stronger? Also, when will the stem become thicker? Is there something I can do?

How am I doing?
It is my first growth, I'm fine even with 20g x plant. Unfortunately the last weeks have been quite cold and cloudy. Hope to be still on track. ->The stem seems quite small... so I had to add some earth as there was wind as well.

What happened here?
Had 2 stems that aren't doing well. Can really tell what happened. They are a lot taller than the rest. At first I thought it was because of light intensity. When I examined it closer it looks like the stem is damage or some sort of nutrient thing. Any thoughts

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?

What Happened?!?!
What happened!? Everything was fine under 60 W lamp, last night I started my regular 18 hour cycle with my big light, woke up this morning to see the gelato OG had fallen over, could this be from the light? The other seem to be doing OK. Added one of the blueberry for compare

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.
