Sorry I never have stalks that thin… did you hit them with a fan to help strengthen them… and Silica and calcium are your best friends for good stalks…

Your light is making them stretchy as fuck… no offense just the way I talk… You could try to tie them up but more light :100:

Valid points @scotty17… I am outdoor as you know more than indoor so I use the AGI-SIL and crustacean meal and large volumes of air movement…to fix it as I can’t lower the sun…lol…

Crazy full moon tonight here

I have a smal vornado fan sittin under the plant pointing staight up. I move the fan around once a day. In the beginning I had her in my window. Not much light so she was stretching. I think I got her under lights and on nutrion too late.

12

I had started with a 250 light and just recently went to 600. Also I had her in a window to start and she was stretching. Like I said earlier I think I put in lights and started nutrition to late.

13

take a pic of your light I’m curious @tammydc Have you ever thought about a grow tent?.. It doesn’t cost much to setup a 2-4 plant tent like mine or 1 massive plant if that’s what you want to do won’t set you back but 2-400$ depending on quality of equipment

I have black trash bags over the only window in the room. It works great for dark hours

15

Its a spare room we use mainly for storage.

16

Try lowering that light a bit I think it might help… Definitely look into a tent @tammydc they are amazing for indoor growing like that

Look into some stakes to prop up your plants for now @tammydc. You can find them at any garden store or a Walmart. I agree, drop that light down a little and add some silica to your next plants.

Where can I get Silica?

20

I run all Advanced Nutrients and their silica product is Rhino Skin. But their’s lots of different brands out there that you can use.
