Hello fellow Tree Huggers :)
I'll start off saying that I'm a Novice with only a couple of harvests under my belt and I've been using store bought clones in Rockwool or Rapid Rooters until now.
Now, I've finally moved on to seeds and I'm noticing that the stems of my seedlings are weak and so are my flowering plants. I have a few in flower that were flipped after a week at 10".
The plants have finished their last stretch in flower and have a max height of 22" - 24". Problem is, I've had to tie up all the plants even being this short. The branches seemed to just not grow thick enough to support the weight of the flowers. Is this a common problem with Quick Flipped plants?
It makes me think that I flipped too quick? Or perhaps I didn't give the plants enough Silicate? BTW, this is an LED Grow. All the plants are in 1gal Smart Pots and are super frosty and very hard. Perhaps the grow area is too cool? Does heat create the stress needed for plants to respond by growing stronger branches?
Thanks in advance
Peace
