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.

Do stems thicken up during flower?More a question out of Idol curiosity, I've managed to train an even canopy with what will hopefully be 7 main colas, and there's a few sites that aren't in the top canopy that look like they could do well
Will the stems continue to thicken with a fan on them when flower starts?5y ago

Leaning Plant /Could really do with some advice on the lean if anyone has any? Should I dig her up very carefully before her root mass gets too big and try to straighten her out? Should I put a little gardening stick in there and tie the stem to it to support her?

How to fix leggy plants?Hello all! I received 4 plants that were about 2-3 ft tall and top heavy. They are growing denser now, and I started topping them off to maintain the height. Currently they are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I supported the skinny bases with wood stakes and ties, but they grew mold :(Plant. Stem - Weak

My seedling just fell overAll of the sudden a healthy looking seedling decided to fall/bend over, it does have the thinnest stem of them all. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it with my other seedlings? Outside temperature is 24⁰ and I water them twice a day with pH-balanced waterWeek 1

It's still not growing...First set of true leaves I noticed a brown spot and feeding a little cal-mag now.
Cotyledon leaves are almost fully yellow and dead. Also, true leaves getting lighter.
Does that mean it's not getting enough nutes?
How can I get this plant moving? It started off really well..4y ago

Can this stretched seedling be saved?So, my first seedling spent a few days w/weak light and got stretched. I then started “Shorty”; both outdoors the last three days. I buried “Stretch” 3/4” deeper.
Is “Stretch” (the first plant) totally fucked? Anything else to do?
1st pic is Stretch, 2nd pic is Shorty.Leaves. Color - Yellow

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?1y ago
