Stems on fan leaves weak
Fordprefect42x10started grow question 4 years ago
The stems on those big leaves seem kind of weak and in general as the grow out they seem to be drooping a bit like they can’t support the weight well. Does this look like a problem and if so any thoughts? I do have a couple of fans in the tent providing some circulation.

Hi @Fordprefect42 normally this only happens when the growth of the stalk is slower than the growth of the leaf, but with the right ventilation it ends up holding the leaves well. it seems to me that everything is fine with the plant and I don't think it will cause you any problems. good luck mate 👍

Seedling leaning hard10 days from sprout, dead center of the light I did turn on an oscillating fan pointing about a foot above the leaves, and she starting leaning perpendicular to the direction it was blowing. I've had minimal nutes, about 2ml/gal of cal-mag, 1ml/gal each GH Flora Trio. pH 6.0-6.3

Snapped stem on the main branch towards the main cola. Will she recover swiftly?I snapped the main stem! Towards the main cola. She is an autoflower, the break was roughly 1/3rd deep into the stem. I propped her up and taped her with clear cellotape pretty tightly. She wasn't like full blown flopping but had a bend. Will she recover?Plant. Stem - Weak

Seedling falling overIf my seedling looks too heavy…like it’s about to fall over, should I brace it with a tooth pick or just let it be? Did I over water it?
I ended up just pushing some of the top soil up against the stem to brace it for now. Hopefully this will strengthen soon

Recovery after broken stemAccidentally broke main steam right before juicy top with some pre-flowers (white hairs). Photos were taken 24 hours after accident. I did the right thing with fixing it with tape? Or it will not produce flowers now and was it better to cut it out completely?

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?

What Should I do?I have fixed the one on the bottom left with a toothpick. This photo is from yesterday and plants growing small leaves now. I foliar sprayed them and pour a tiny bit of water onto them from the leftover but now I am worried I overwatered them the top of the soil wasnt even dry.
