After the week of germination I add a tsp/gal of calmag every feeding, it seems to really help from my experience. I'd also add a little air flow to allow healthier and stronger stem growth if you dont have it already.

Have you considered using Silica? Silica helps increase photosynthesis, increase cell wall strength, and protects from pests and disease.

Oh and also, dunno if you have a fan or not, but gentle breeze will help its little stem get stronger as well

Well. I don’t see anything for nutrients other than terpinator and eggshells. Looking at your diary pictures, the eggshells are just on top of the soil as like still big pieces of shells. That’s not doing anything for them..like at all. Those would need to be like powder and down in the soil, and would still need time to break down. Terpinator ain’t doing shit for them either. The soils cracking, the plants hungry. I don’t think light was ever the issue. Watering/feeding seem like the issues to me

Stem thickness I am noticing that my stem is often too thin when compared to other plants. What this could be an indication of? Could it be that I am slightly under watering the soil by giving about 0.5 L of water each two days after 35 days of veg?

Day 37 - Main Stem Split in Half on Manifolded Plant: Is the Plant Salvageable?The stem on one of my manifolded plants has split in half at the base. I tried to salvage the stem by using garden tie knot with a zip tie to bring the halves back together. Is this going to kill the plant or is this plant salvageable? Thank you for your advice.

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

Main cola is injured.One of the main branches got too heavy and snapped. 6 days later, it’s turning darker and looking to finish on a different time frame. Do I still continue to leave it alone? It didn’t completely break off, and I have it supported with sticks, ties and tape.
