Hey friend looking good, I hope it is okay if I offer you some pointers? So cannabis plants love heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it, We can get more vigorous growth in veg with temps of 79-84 MAX and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. It is important in veg and early flower to keep our temperature gaps tight between lights on and off or we get unwanted stretch. Also at this early stage humidity in the air can really help supplement the smaller root structures with some foliar intake. Humidity of 60-70% for the first couple weeks really helps speed up our veg with autos or photoperiods. Once we hit flower after the first 2-3 weeks we want to begin to taper our lights on temps down. If we grow our buds out at too high of temps we lose out on a lot of cake and also they will be big and airy and also prone to foxtailing. We want to run temps of around 77 and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. Once our plants have finished growing vertically we want to open up our temp gap between lights on and off. Now their done growing vertically it will signal them to put extra energy into the budding process and resin production. Timing this is important so make sure to watch for when they are no longer growing vertically. Also if you have not done so already get yourself a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 62 MAX & a PAR meter to better read your plants and grow to their needs. Check out VPD, Vapor pressure deficit and how it relates to growing cannabis. All new growers should learn this right away. If you got any questions feel free to ask my friend and good luck with this one. If you have a minute check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary and follow my profile. I have a youtube channel I am currently producing a tutorial series for as well so if that interests you hop over and subscribe. Happy growing!

Happy growing & good luck :grinning:

Good luck with your grow man, this diary looks sick! Lots of strains that I personally am VERY interested in! Is your "Wedding Cake" Auto as well? Or just Runtz and Purple CousKush? Also, I do not think you need to worry about "weak stems". As I understand this is your first grow. I am also a newbie but I have transplanted some plants and what I saw then was very fascinating. When transplanting my plants they were about as small as yours, but still the root system was visible in the bottom of the soil. Long story short, it might look "weak", but there is a LOT of stuff going on in the soil that we can't see, and I promise you that if you keep taking as good care as you have this far, then the stem will grow wider and wider and your plant will keep evolving naturally as it is now. Also, do you have a fan? A fan will help your plant stabilize itself (grow stronger to resist against "wind") which I can imagine will make the stem a bit stronger. If you do or do not have a fan, then I recommend using it right away but on the weakest setting and preferably at least 50cm away from the plants. Even 100cm is fine.
