Peeling Stem, 3.5 week old Autoflower
XanHalenstarted grow question 1y ago
the bigger plant has some issues near the base of its stem, I noticed it before I did the LST and now I’m wondering if I should have addressed that issue before starting the LST. Let me know what you guys think!
Plant is just about at week 4!

Nothing to worry about. It’s just shedding that first skin. As the stalk grows and gets bigger that skin just falls off on its own.
No action needed just leave it be and carry on as normal.

I see no prob with your plant at the moment. I would becareful bending the plant at the base so much after it starts to get older the thinker parts of the plant start to snap easier more like a tree branch

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical StormsI live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy.
I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?Week 5

Weak stemsMy plant is on the finishing flowering stage.
Now she starts to fall and I find her lower and lower every day.
Weak, rubbery stems.
I don't know weather it's nutrient deficit;
Or is the stress because of leave cutting, she have small amount of them;
Or smth else?Leaves. Curl down

Plant falling from the water weight.I sprayed it with water and the plant fell. In another plant in the same grow room I spotted an insect, I'm not sure what it is. Maybe its related.
I decided to put sticky traps and I will wait a little longer before watering. Solved it letting it to lean against a stick.Week 1
