Broke my baby plant
Derbyspecksstarted grow question 4 years ago
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.

Hi @Derbyspecks When plants are small they are quite fragile and should be treated like babies. these things happen, the important thing is to act quickly and fix the damage. the plant seems to me that it will survive, do not move it for about 3-5 days for it to recover, after about 7 days you can point a small fan blowing the wind gently so as not to knock it over and for it to shake slightly and gain strength in the stalk, the more the plant shakes the more the stalk thickens and gains strength. good luck mate 👍

In addition to what @OGgrows said. Silica products can help improve stem strength but it's probably too late for that help.

Damping off or stress?It was laying flat when i woke up. I have been using domes untill yesterday and I thought it was because of the fan first. I put some soil around the stem but didn't help. Toothpicks are holding it now.
Looked deeper and I didn't see a thinner stem nor a dent.

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Growing speed different in same strain different plantsTwo of my plants are the same strain (easy bud) but growing at totally different speeds. I am using 9x 9W LED bulbs as supplemental lighting to the sunlight that comes through a big window. Is it the amount of sunlight the plant gets that’s the limiting factor? Also stems r weakWeek 4
