The plant wilted after transplanting not sure what might have caused the bends at the base of the stem.

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.

Stem thickness
I am noticing that my stem is often too thin when compared to other plants. What this could be an indication of? Could it be that I am slightly under watering the soil by giving about 0.5 L of water each two days after 35 days of veg?

Recovery after snapping main stem
Is there anything I can do to help with the recovery and yield of my auto after snapping the main stem during LST? I didn't tape it in time so that's not an option

Why is week-old seedling starting to fall over?
Why is the seedling in the foreground falling over? Is it from stretching? I planted it on January 28, and moved it to the tent a couple of days ago. It was doing fine until yesterday. (I've removed it from the tent and put it back under the CF bulbs in the bathroom.)

I need help troubleshooting weak plants! I think the clover might be the culprit but what do I do?
Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these plants and what I can do? This is my first grow. I can already tell the seeds are growing slow because other seeds I planted in smaller pots are growing much faster. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
