Dralph87started grow question 5 years ago
Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.

Looks like you had or have nutrient lockout. There is signs of overdose in your leaves. Give your poorly girls a nice heavy flush if you haven't already and lay off the nutes for a week. Start adding in small doses. Try adjusting your pH level. Do you check the soil pH too? 👍🌱

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?5 months ago
