What might have caused this?
TheGreenRanger
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.

Could these be automatics?
I was trying for the first time the 12-12 form seed growing method and these are supose to be “fast cookies” but I assumed they were just fem But as i am following the state as close as i can and daily “studying in here a couple of hours” i think the problem could be genetic

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?

Over watering? Will she recover?
When I lifted this GSC auto from the tent to LST she simply fell over. Prior to that I thought she looked very healthy. Since then her leaves have all flopped down. I'm pretty sure I've been over watering. She's now being supported. Will she recover? see before and after pics

Weak stems in one of my plants
My one plant is starting to have support issues with a couple stems, when I felt the stems they seem soft/rubbery. I’m just curious if this is the sign of some sort of deficiency. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have installed a ScrOG to help support the stems

Sun Bending Seeding Stem Germinated Indoors - Should I harden off?
Is the sun killing my seedling? Small Black Plastic pot outdoors - Temperature 76F, Sunny with little to no wind. Seedling germinated indoors 1 day ago. Stem was straight, now very bent after 1 hour in the late afternoon sun. Is hardening off necessary at this stage?

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?

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?

Blätter welk verdreht
Die Blätter wirken welk bzw. verdreht. Sie sind heute den ersten Tag im 12/12 Modus mit anderem Licht. Was könnte es sein? Zu wenig Wasser Zuviel Dünger kann ich ausschließen sie bekommen noch fast die gleiche Menge Wachstum wie zuvor. Und davon auch weniger als gefordert
