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.

Hello, I had recently snapped the main stem on the bottom, I covered the snap wound in soil and stableised her. This was done yesterday and seemed ok and only drooped for a couple of hours after, but I woke up today she is drooping very badly is there any way to fix this, Thanks.

First time grower, concerned about plants thinning.
This is my first grow, I will be switching these girls to t5 tomorrow. Should I be concerned by their height? They will also be going outside into a greenhouse after 2 weeks inside.

Damping off? Or just damaged?
Are they damping off? They were outdoor in the sun almost whole day. They got droopy and I thought it is because they haven't been in the sun each day and are not used to warmth. The stems are rather thin and I burried the highers part in soil from the edges to keep them right.

Broke my baby plant
So today was I suppose classic newbie messing with the plant too much. I thought I could sink the stem into the coco a little so that it has more support but ended up breaking the stem. I rescued with a mini wooden spoon, some wire and sellotape. Any advice welcome.

I don't know if it was water or week lighting.
Can I still save the top 2? Leaves are green, not sure if it was water or my late tlights. They are aerated now, SF-1000 is at 70% and approximately 18" away. They were originally under a LED GE Seedling Grow Light.
